Overview
The poems in Heavenly Life were selected by the poet from his collections and from works written as poet laureate. His translator is the award-winning David Colmer, joint-winner of the 2010 IMPAC prize, who has dynamically recreated in English the patterns and sounds of Ramsey's inventive, bold and thoughtful poems.
The collection includes the poem which voted Nasr into his Poet Laureate post in the Neteherlands in 2009 in the Netherlands the laureate is chosen by popular vote. Another is a three-part poem inspired by the life of Dmitri Shostakovich and based on his Sonata for Viola and Piano. The title poem Heavenly Life, meanwhile, was written to commemorate the 150h anniversary of Gustav Mahler s birth and is based on his Fourth Symphony, the four sections of the poem echoing the structure, tone and length of its movements. It is named after Das himmlische Leben , the song that forms the symphony s finale
With an introduction by Victor Schiferli and foreword by Ruth Padel.
