Miracle Speech: The Poetry of Tomas Tranströmer

The Book Bench: Miracle Speech: The Poetry of Tomas Tranströmer :

"Tomas Tranströmer, who was awarded this year’s Nobel Prize in Literature, has for years now been one of my ports of refuge. The books of his poetry on my shelves never remain unopened for long. I turn to him when I wish to come as close as possible to what cannot be said. This past decade was full of dark years, and I returned again and again to poets. They kept watch over me and, to adopt a phrase of Tranströmer’s, I survived on milk stolen from their cosmos," writes Teju Cole
