Haikudikter / Haiku Poems / 俳句
Redan på femtiotalet skrev Tomas Tranströmer haikudikter, och i sitt senare författarskap har han flera gånger återkommit till den diktformen. Hans haikudikter har tilltalat läsare världen över, inte minst i haikuns hemland Japan. Tranströmers överraskande bildspråk, som snarare tillhör den moderna poesin än den traditionella haikun, har fått många att se honom som en förnyare av den strikta japanska diktformen.I den här trespråkiga utgåvan -- på svenska, engelska och kinesiska -- har översättarna Robin Fulton och Göran Malmqvist samlat femtiofem av Tranströmers haikudikter, av vilka några här publiceras för första gången. De presenteras sida vid sida med de svenska originalen.

About the author
Tomas Tranströmer
155 books387 followersHis poetry, building on Modernism, Expressionism, and Surrealism, contains powerful imagery concerned with issues of fragmentation and isolation. “He has perfected a particular kind of epiphanic lyric, often in quatrains, in which nature is the active, energizing subject, and the self (if the self is present at all) is the object,” notes critic Katie Peterson in the Boston Review.
Critic and poet Tom Sleigh observed, in his Interview with a Ghost (2006), that “Tranströmer’s poems imagine the spaces that the deep then inhabits, like ground water gushing up into a newly dug well.”
His honors include the Lifetime Recognition Award from the Griffin Trust for Excellence in Poetry, the Aftonbladets Literary Prize, the Bonnier Award for Poetry, the Neustadt International Prize for Literature, the Oevralids Prize, the Petrarch Prize in Germany, the Swedish Award from International Poetry Forum,the Swedish Academy’s Nordic Prize, and especially the 2011 Nobel Prize in literature. His work has been translated into more than 50 languages.
Tranströmer suffered a stroke in 1990, and after a six-year silence published his collection Sorgegondolen (Grief Gondola) (1996). Prior to his stroke, he worked as a psychologist, focusing on the juvenile prison population as well as the disabled, convicts, and drug addicts. He lives in Sweden.
On Thursday, 6th of October 2011 he was awarded the Nobel prize in Literature "because, through his condensed, translucent images, he gives us fresh access to reality".

De pé na varanda
numa gaiola de raios de sol -
como um arco-íris.
**********************
Ouço o murmúrio da chuva.
Para lá entrar
sussurro um segredo.

Vento forte e vagaroso
da biblioteca do mar.
Aqui posso descansar.

Lycka är att, efter en hel dags vadande i strida strömmar av görande och aktion, av tranströmersk haikudiktning nedtagas på jorden, manas till andra andning, invaggas i lugn och ro och landa i stillhet. Storslaget.

It was ok. I am not usually fond of poetry but i liked the way the poems was translated to three languages even though i could not understand the chinese one. It gave depth to them.
