Tua Forsström has published her twelfth collection of poetry,
Anteckningar, this time with
Förlaget M and Bonniers. The book is in some sense a continuation of
En kväll i oktober rodde jag ut på sjön (2013), though the new volume focuses more acutely on the theme of death, and the tone of the inner discourse has shifted imperceptibly towards a new and harsh gravity. "Tua Forsström is still one of Finland Sweden's most dynamic and vibrant poets,"
writes Svenska Yle's reviewer, and it would be hard to argue with that judgement. An English translation of the book should be forthcoming from
Bloodaxe Books before too long - I'm presently working in that direction.
