Stones and Tongues of Fire: the Complete Poems of Tranström

The complete poems of Nobel Prize winner Tranström. The poet Bei Dao once praised that "each of his poems is almost perfect." He is like a modern poet of the Tang Dynasty. His poems are beautiful in imagery, blank and short, but they strike the heartstrings directly, evoking ancient and modern thoughts and resonating with the world. Tranström is good at using various images to create subtle connections between things that are usually unrelated to each other, creating opportunities for encounters. Most of his works are short and concise, using metaphors to shape his personal inner world and express the poet's extraordinary reflections on daily life and natural experience. This book collects thirteen collections of poems published by the poet since 1954, including all of Tranström's poems throughout his creative career. It also includes the author's autobiographical work "Memory Sees Me" written in 1993 and the Nobel Prize for Literature award speech. The translator has comprehensively revised the translation this time to present Tranström's great poetic art to Chinese readers in a more perfect and accurate manner.
