THOMAS TRANSTROMER, Sweedish Poet, WINS NOBEL LAUREATE IN LITERATURE


Thomas Transtromer was a strong, younger man when I heard him read in Savannah, Georgia
27 years ago. I remember  he nearly brought the walls down with applause, but then that is how they do it at the annual A.W.P. Conference.  They clap and clap and clap until their hands fall off. He was that good, and I still have my hands to cheer him yet again. --Nancy Simpson
