Guarding the Air
Gunnar Harding, perhaps the most prominent living Swedish poet after Tomas Transtromer, has won all the major Swedish literary awards, yet has scarcely been translated for English language readers. Guarding the Air: Selected Poems of Gunnar Harding presents 112 poems drawn from eleven of the thirteen books Harding has published that contain poetry in verse. The book contains a brief introduction by the translator; a useful guide to Harding's poetry in the form of his prefaces to his three Swedish volumes of selected poems; an extensive set of endnotes, many of which include or rely on comments by the poet; and an index to poem titles.

Plocka din dag : oden i urval och översättning av Gunnar Harding och Tore Janson
Carpe diem! Nu återupplivas den romerske diktaren Horatius i en svensk nyöversättning för tjugohundratalet. Många av Horatius verser är så träffande att de blivit en del av det svenska språket. Här presenteras ett urval av hans allra kändaste dikter, oden. Från sin lantegendom utanför Rom reflekterar Horatius över hur man bör leva sitt liv och hur man ska förhålla sig till döden. Odena är ofta lättsamma, de flödar av kvicka infall och kloka tankar. Horatius påpekar bara sådant som vi vet eller borde veta, men han gör det så skickligt att dikterna tillhör det lilla urval av antika texter som fördes över från papyrus till pergament. Horatius (65–8 före vår tid) uppnådde en ställning som en av sin tids största poeter. Tack vare ekonomiskt stöd från den inflytelserika Maecenas kunde han lämna sitt arbete och ägna sig helt åt att skriva poesi. Han var nära vän med kejsar Augustus och räknas än idag som världspoesins största vinkännare – i sina oden är han mycket noga med att redovisa sorterna.
Images of America in Scandinavia
The subject of Images of America in Scandinavia, the first comprehensive study of its kind, is as multifaceted, complex, and overwhelming as America or the United States, itself. It concerns the nature and function, reality and fiction of such images in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden past and present. The book is intended to be a source of solid information as well as a starting point for further inquiries into its cultural territory. Part of its focus is on images of America rooted in printed sources, but, in addition, general surveys of other cultural signs of America in the Scandinavian countries present a broader picture and provide some of the background for the predominantly literary imag...
