【Content Introduction】
Tranströmer excels at using a variety of imagery to forge subtle connections between typically unrelated objects, creating opportunities for encounters. His works are often short and concise, using metaphors to shape his inner world and express the poet's extraordinary reflections on daily life and his experiences with nature.
This book compiles thirteen poetry collections published since 1954, encompassing the entirety of Tranströmer's career. It also includes his 1993 autobiographical work, Memory Sees Me, and his Nobel Prize in Literature acceptance speech. The translator has thoroughly revised the translation to present Tranströmer's great poetic art to Chinese readers in a more refined and accurate manner.

—Seamus Heaney The most important poet, with an incredible wit… I have stolen more than one metaphor from him.
