Reviews for I Studied Once at a Wonderful Faculty
Tua Forsström's poems give a sense of having crystallised under a great pressure...a survey of the landscape of grief, exercises in renunciation and in the affirmation of loss of love, sexuality and communion with others... She belongs to a tradition that includes Rilke, Hölderlin, Paul Celan and the great Swedish poet Gunnar Ekelöf.
