Robin Trower's Music with Tomas Transtromer's Poetry


Craig Lewis suggested this combination.


I wanted to mash up this poem with the same instrumental bits from "Bullet the Blue Sky" by U2.  In my mind's ear, it's what a storm sounds like.  But maybe this will work too.
 
This is the Robert Bly translation of this poem, which can be found in "The Half-Finished Heaven"
 
 

What's Going On Here?

Pretty much what the tagline says. I'm reciting poems I like, and making mashups of poems I like with the music for which my ear hungers when I read and think of these poems. It is my sincere hope that other lovers of these poems will do likewise.
