Learning about Tomas Transtromer for the first time upon hearing that he received the Nobel prize for Literature today. Thank you for sharing some of his work with us.

Redaction

Tea under a blue tree with Marika, my three-headed calico cat.

In Traverse City she went into a photo booth and vanished. A minute later she cellphoned me from New Orleans.

Wakefulness on a rainy night. Like yo-yos the raindrops fall to within an inch of the ground, then rise.

Dirty-haired, unshaven, Kurt Cobain axes an amp with his guitar.

This time next year the checkerboard will be war-ravaged, the brainbox iridescent.
