3 Anthologies for National Poetry Month

From the publisher: "Sweden has long been home to a rich and luminous poetic tradition. From Edith Södergran to Gunnar Ekelöf to Nobel Prize-winning Tomas Tranströmer, poems that span the beginnings of Modernism to present day. An essential bilingual volume that offers stark, exquisite translations notable for refreshing openness, striking honesty, and a rare transcendence that seems to spring from a keen attention to the natural world."
