The Star by My Head
Published in partnership with the Poetry Foundation, this breathtaking anthology features eight of Sweden’s most highly regarded poets. From Edith Södergran to Gunnar Ekelöf to Nobel Prize-winning Tomas Tranströmer, Sweden has long been home to a rich and luminous poetic tradition, notable for refreshing openness, striking honesty, and a rare transcendence that often springs from a keen attention to the natural world. In the poems of The Star by My Head, which begin in the early twentieth century and come up to the present day, pinecones cluster out of reach and lilacs attempt their tentative rebirth each year. A bee makes a face like a newborn’s. A name etched in vapor on a windowpane, and its erasure, brings happiness. With exquisite translations by internationally acclaimed poets and translators Malena Mörling and Jonas Ellerström offered alongside the Swedish originals, The Star by My Head is an essential bilingual volume and the premiere American anthology of its kind.

An International Annotated Bibliography of Strindberg Studies 1870-2005: Autobiographies, novels, poetry, letters, historical works, natural history and science, lingiustics, painting and the other arts, politics, psychopathology, biography, miscellaneous, dissertations
This copiously annotated bibliography documents and examines the whole range of commentary on Strindberg's works and activity in many fields besides the plays for which he is internationally best known. These include his prose fiction and poetry, his work as an historian and natural historian, and his relationship to the other arts, most notably his painting. It is concerned with both lasting works of literary and dramatic criticism, as well as reviews of his books and plays in the theatre, and some more ephemeral material, all of this in several languages. Organised generically and by subject and individual work, the bibliography enables the reader to trace the changing impact of Strindberg...
Ödet och ursinnet
Passionerat, vackert och fullständigt uppslukande Ödet och ursinnet är först hans, och sedan hennes, version av den storslagna kärlekssagan. Lotto och Mathilde gifter sig bara två veckor efter att ha fallit för varandra. De är unga, vackra och ämnade för storslagenhet. I deras bohemiska New York-lägenhet surrar vännerna som en bikupa av förväntningar på att Lotto ska slå igenom som skådespelare. Men åren går, och Mathilde försörjer dem, till dess att lyckan väl vänder för Lotto. Förenade av en glödande passion driver de varandra genom livet i tron om att de är oskiljaktiga. Men den perfekta fasaden rämnar. Ursinnet kommer i kapp ödet och Lotto förstår inte hur fel han haft förrän det är för sent. ÖDET OCH URSINNET blev Lauren Groffs stora genombrott. Barack Obama utnämnde boken till årets favorit och den blev en omedelbar New York Times-bästsäljare som nu översatts till ett tjugotal språk. Skriven på Groffs karaktäristiska språk är det en svindlande läsupplevelse som tar andan ur sina läsare från första till sista sidan.

The State of the Art
The acclaimed annual, The Best American Poetry, is the most prestigious showcase of new poetry in the United States and Canada. Each year since the series began in 1988, David Lehman has contributed a foreword, and this has evolved into a sort of state-of-the-art address that surveys new developments and explores various matters facing poets and their readers today. This book collects all twenty-nine forewords (including the two written for the retrospective "Best of the Best" volumes for the tenth and twenty-fifth anniversaries.) Beginning with a new introduction by Lehman and a foreword by poet Denise Duhamel (guest editor for The Best American Poetry 2013), the collection conveys a sense of American poetry in the making, year by year, over the course of a quarter of a century.
