Special thanks are due to Miriam and Sara at the Gothenburg City Library for their supportive roles in helping to stage my recent inter-disciplinary talk there on this peerless poet-mystic of Swedish letters, in which I discussed Tranströmer’s poem ‘Exorcism’ in relation to cinema, music and archetypal psychology. I am also very grateful to the actress and theatre director Rebecca Alverfors for her late agreement to appear and to read the poem in the original language. Taking its place in the context of my ongoing independent post-doctoral research project on poetics and evil, this talk will, I hope, be able to be worked up into a publishable paper in due course. Watch this space!
Very much look forward to reading this essay and seeing how it contributes to (and develops) your wider project, which has long fascinated and inspired.
