The complete poetic works Thomas Transtromer | Thomas Transtromer

As soon as the reader opens Thomas Transtromer's books of poems, all senses are driven to work, for with few words, short sentences, and brief poems, the reader is transported to a real world within imagination. The reader quickly discovers that Transtromer is greatly influenced by French surrealism and by writers such as the American-British poet and writer Thomas Stearns Eliot, the Russian poet Boris Pasternak, and the American Robert Bly. However, Thomas Transtromer did not imitate the writers he was influenced by; rather, he created a broad poetic style that distinguished him from others and placed him among the ranks of global poets. In his poems, the subconscious mind occupies a wide space, extending from existential issues and the relationship between humans and God, which has an ambiguous image in his poetry that needs decoding to be understood, passing through nature and music, and reaching life and death. Although Transtromer's poems were produced over nearly fifty years, the poet lives within his inner self, and most of his poems in the later stages of childhood are filled with nostalgia, imagination, and fundamental but complex questions such as existential issues, the relationship with God, life, and death. This is the second edition of the complete poetic works of the poet Transtromer in Arabic, aimed at introducing the Arab reader to a distinguished but unknown global poet in the Arab world. Transtromer was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature twenty years ago. We read for him a poem titled: "Storm ... he says: 'Suddenly here the mobile meets... the ancient giant oak... like a petrified elk with enormous antlers... opposite the greenish fortress of the September sea... a northern storm... that is the time when... the clusters of the Ghibli... ripen... and hear... awake in the darkness... galaxies stir in their stalls high above the trees.'"
