Nils Ferlin, although extremely popular in Sweden, remains relatively unknown outside Scandinavia. This collection aims to bring his work closer to the English-speaking reader, presenting a selection of poems from various stages of his life. Here we find both works that are very popular in Sweden and lesser-known but equally valuable ones.

The volume contains poems from all the volumes published during the poet's lifetime and from the volume published posthumously in 1962. Some of the works are so-called sung poetry, which required the translators to maintain the same sound organization as in the original in the English translations, i.e. rhymes, rhythm, and accents. Sheet music with signed English words has been added to several works to give musical readers the opportunity to recreate the sung version and thus feel the atmosphere created by the text along with the accompanying melody.

ASPRA Publishing, known for its attention to high editorial quality, presents this collection in hardcover, which ensures durability and elegance of the edition. The 237x170 mm format makes the book comfortable to read and ideal as a gift for any poetry lover. The volume contains 102 pages full of inspiring reflections and emotions that are sure to touch the heart of every reader. Allow yourself a moment of respite and immerse yourself in the world of poetry by Nils Ferlin.

The translators hope that the presented selection will allow the reader to feel the atmosphere of Ferlin's poetry, focused on matters related to the human condition, reflecting longings and fears, poetry full of seriousness, but also specific humor and self-irony. This is a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the work of one of the most important Swedish poets and discover the beauty of his poems.
