Paperback. Condition: New. When she died in poverty at 31, Edith Södergran had been dismissed as a mad, megalomaniac aristocrat by most of her Finnish contemporaries. Today she is regarded as Finland's greatest modern poet. Her poems - written in Swedish - are intensely visionary, and have been compared with Rimbaud's, yet they also show deep affinities with Russian poetry, with the work of Blok, Mayakovsky and Severyanin in particular. Born in 1892 of a Finno-Swedish family, Edith Södergran grew up in Raivola, a village on the Russian border, but was educated at a German school in St Petersburg. Her early influences were Goethe and Heine, and she wrote first in German. The driving force of Edith Södergran's mature Swedish poetry was her struggle against TB, which she contracted in 1908. For much of her short life she was a semi-invalid in sanatoria in Finland and Switzerland. Her last years were spent amid the turmoil of the Russian Revolution and in desperate poverty in Raivola, where she died in 1923. Edith Södergran saw herself as an inspired free spirit of a new order, a disciple on her own terms of Nietzsche, then of the nature mystic Rudolf Steiner, and ?nally of Christ. But her voice is subtle and wholly original. It transcends the limits imposed by her illness to make lyrical statements about the violence and darkness of the modern world - imagistic poems that are alarming in the surreal beauty of their fragmentary diction.David McDuff's edition was the first complete translation into English of Edith Södergran's Swedish poetry. His versions adhere as closely as possible to the spirit and the letter of the Swedish original. In his introductory essay David McDuff gives a comprehensive and illuminating account of Edith Södergran's life and work.

The Poet Who Created Herself
Seller: Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Edith Södergran's vital, compelling and very personal poems have been translated into many languages, and several times into English. Written for the most part when she was dying of tuberculosis in a remote Finnish frontier village only a short train journey away from revolutionary Petrograd, they are a major contribution to European modernism. These letters are almost all that remains to us of her work, apart from the poetry. The most personal of them were written between 1919 and 1923 to two like-minded young Finland-Swedish writers, Hagar Olsson and Elmer Diktonius. They are unusually spontaneous and show Södergran in many moods, passionate and caring, intransigent, desperate for human contact, and racked by religious doubts that threaten to stifle the very poetry for which she lived. The collection is accompanied by an introduction and notes which both contextualize the letters and greatly enhance our understanding of Södergran's life and poetry.".

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. FINLANDESA, nacida en San Petersburgo (1892), y de lengua sueca, Edith Södergran está considerada como la más importante poeta de Escandinavia, y ha sido comparada con Pound o Rilke. De intensa espiritualidad y enorme sensibilidad, la acentuación del problema de Dios la llevó a la resignación y, quizás, a su precoz final. Murió en Carelia en 1923, cuando sólo contaba 31 años. «Que mi literatura es poesía, nadie lo puede negar. Que sea o no sea verso, es otra cuestión. He tratado de someter a un ritmo ciertos poemas refractarios, y he descubierto que sólo poseo el poder de la palabra y la imagen en condiciones de completa libertad, esto es, a expensas del ritmo. Mis poemas son descuidados esbozos a lápiz. En cuanto a su contenido, dejo que mi instinto construya lo que ve mi mente. Mi aplomo se basa en que he descubierto mis dimensiones. Y no tengo porqué hacerme menos de lo que soy. » E. SÖDERGRAN *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
