Poet, novelist, and philosopher Lars Gustafsson (1936-2016) was one
of Europe's leading literary figures. Much of his writing is
concerned with the search for moral consciousness and the
relationship between personal experience and self-awareness, imbued
with a philosophically founded scepticism toward language. His
poetry is renowned for relating the metaphysical to the mundane
with a particular clarity and precision, illuminating the potency
of ordinary objects and everyday events as he addresses critical
issues that have concerned great thinkers over the centuries. His
first book of poetry to be published in Britain has an introduction
by Per Wastberg. Poetry Book Society Recommended Translation,
shortlisted for the Bernard Shaw Prize 2018 (for translation from
Swedish).
