Views from a Tuft of Grass

Winner of the 1974 Nobel Prize for Literature (with fellow Swedish writer Eyvind Johnson), Harry Martinson (1904-1978) was noted for his innovative use of language combined with his keen observation of nature. He also wrote three volumes of nature essays in the 1930s. Views from a Tuft of Grass, however, was published late in his life, in 1963, and the essays of this volume reflect a maturer and cleaner style and are less philosophically dense than the earlier works.
