This book presents 121 poems by Rolf Jacobsen. Drawing from all 12 of his books, and including one poem collected posthumously, this book offers award-winning English translations of Jacobsen's poems, accompanied by the original Norwegian texts. An in-depth introduction by Greenwald highlights the main features of Jacobsen's poetry, and extensive endnotes, as well as indexes to titles and first lines in both languages, enhance the usefulness of the book for general readers and scholars alike.
