Modern Woman Charles Ducal translated by Jen HoferEdith Sdergran Sdergrans daring, avant garde work outraged many of her Finland Swedish contemporaries who clung to traditional literary sensibilities. Through dynamic symbolism and fluid logic, the poems comprising her first collection fundamentally questioned early twentieth century notions of what poetry is and what it can do.
