Tua Forsstrom is a visionary Finland-Swedish poet who has become Finland"s most celebrated contemporary poet. Her breakthrough came when she was still only 30 with her sixth collection, Snow Leopard, which brought her international recognition, with its English translation by David McDuff winning a Poetry Book Society Translation Award. "The volume amply presents a poet who situates her pensive poems amidst daily life yet who often narrates them from oblique or abstract angles." --Poetry Today
