THE BLUE HOUSE received the 2024 PEN Award for Poetry in Translation! From the judges’ citation: “Patty Crane’s translations in The Blue House brilliantly present one of the greatest poetic voices of the past sixty years. Written in Swedish, Tomas Tranströmer’s work, full of cinematic imagery and wisdom, is deeply informed by his spirituality.”
