TRANSTRÖMER INTERNATIONAL features a seminar of world poets, placing his poetry in context by relating to their countries of origin: Columbia, Iran and Bangladesh. And a select working group has translated sample poems of Tranströmer into several world languages, printed alongside the Swedish originals. Most translations are done exclusively for this anthology, and in addition to some new English versions, there are poems in Arabic, Bengali, Farsi, Japanese, Romani, Russian, North Sami, Somali and Spanish.

All poems of Tomas Tranströmer are also featured in original version. Poems and seminar text by Kristian Carlsson, Ángela García, Azita Ghahreman, and Anisur Rahman.
