Tomas TranstrmerTomas Transtrmer (b. 1931) is a Swedish writer, poet and translator, whose poetry has acquired a great influence in Sweden, and also around the world. Transtrmer received his secondary education at the Sdra Latin School in Stockholm and graduated as a psychologist from Stockholm University in 1956. He began writing at thirteen, and published his first collection of poems, 17 dikter ("17 poems") in 1954. His latest collection, Den stora gtan, was published in 2004. He published a short autobiography, Minnena ser mig, in 1993. Other poets have accused him for being apart for his tradition and not including political issues in his poems and novels. In 1990, he suffered a stroke that is affecting his speech, but continues to write. He has often been mentioned as a candidate for Nobel Prize in Literature, and some contemporary writers consider him one of the best poets of his country.
