Phil Levine on poetry, learning, his mother and his book of poems, The Mercy I was very lucky to have a mother who encouraged me to become a poet. ... But she loved poetry, fiction, music; that a son of hers would devote himself to this art thrilled her. Only the final poem in the book was written after her death, which was in the spring of last year just after she turned ninety-four. I did not see her death coming. The last time I spoke with her she sounded very snappy and was looking forward to my new book. I hope the book contains some of her zest for life, some of her belief in the power of beauty, some of her great humor. As a teacher you too must have known many young people who wanted to pursue poetry but were discouraged by their families. I'm one lucky guy to have had Esther Levine for my mother.

He is the author of twelve full-length collections of poetry, most recently Den stora gåtan (The Great Enigma) in 2004. Tranströmer's books have appeared in hundreds of editions in over fifty languages. Among his many honors are Germany's Petrarch Prize, the Neustadt International Prize for Literature, the Bellman Prize, the Bonnier Award for Poetry, and the Swedish Academy's Nordic Prize. In 2008 Green Integer will release his book The Sorrow Gondola, translated by Michael McGriff with Mikaela Grassl. Tranströmer lives with his wife Monica in Stockholm.
