Princeton. 2000. Princeton University Press. 1st American Edition. Bump Near Top Corner, Otherwise Very Good in Wrappers. 0691008973. Translated from the Norwegian by Roger Greenwald. 184 pages. paperback. keywords: Poetry Norway Translated Scandinavia Literature. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Tarjei Vesaas, one of Scandinavia's greatest fiction writers, has been less well known as a poet. Now Roger Greenwald, an award-winning translator of Scandinavian poetry, presents forty-six poems drawn from Vesaas's six volumes of poetry. This selection is intended to reveal the distinctive sensibility and voice of Vesaas the poet. The Norwegian texts appear facing the English versions, which won the American-Scandinavian Foundation Translation Prize. The translator's groundbreaking introduction explores why Vesaas's poetry has often resisted critical analysis and how it challenges received notions of modernism. Excerpts from Vesaas's writings about himself and his work supply helpful background and give some sense of the man behind the work. Vesaas emerges as a lyric and meditative poet of uncommon depth, who renders states of being beyond the reach not only of discourse, but of most poetry as well. inventory #28644.
