In his former pantry, Tomas Tranströmer collected documents from the fringes of his literary work: diaries, letters, newspaper articles, and photos. Just before his death, he compiled these into his last book. It traces the epochs of his life and creative output. There is his childhood with a single mother, the first poetry collection, his work as a psychologist in a juvenile detention center; then marriage and his two daughters, summer months in the archipelago, and the insect collection; and finally, playing the piano with one hand and receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature. This richly illustrated legacy is a gift to all readers and lovers of poetry.
