Zustand: FINE. First printing, a slim trade paperback original, A selection of poems by this little known Swedish- Finnish writer. Although she was born in Russia and attended German language schools in St Petersburg, when she started to write her poetry, she made a clear decision to do in Swedish. Translated and introduced by Samuel Charters. Sodergran was one of the first feminist poets, and one of the first modernists. Her work was bitterly attacked during her lifetime, and when she died at age 31, after years of suffering from tuberculosis, and living in abject poverty, one of the causes was malnutrition. Unpaginated. Fine in wrappers.
