Tarjei Vesaas's fame as one of Norway's and Scandinavia's greatest fictionwriters of the 20th century has often overshadowed his achievement as apoet. This revised bilingual selection presents, in finely honed translations, forty sixpoems that reveal the distinctive sensibility and voice of Vesaas thepoet. In a groundbreaking introductory essay, Roger Greenwald explores whyVesaas's work has eluded many attempts at critical analysis and how itchallenges received notions of modernism. A collage of excerpts fromVesaas's writings about himself and his work supplies helpful backgroundand gives some sense of the man behind the work. Vesaas emerges fromthis volume as a lyric and meditative poet of uncommon depth, who rendersstates of being beyond the reach not only of discourse, but of most poetry aswell | Through Naked Branches by Tarjei Vesaas, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
