- ... that The Great Enigma by Tomas Tranströmer mainly consists of haiku poems?

The article is well-written and citations are good. I'm not sure about the hook. It may be better to say something about the author's health conditions at time of writing... that would garner it more views, in my opinion. Colipon+(Talk) 18:13, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
- I considered that, but feared it would be a bit distasteful to use as a selling point. Smetanahue (talk) 19:59, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think that is necessarily true... the work is impressive, and perhaps even more impressive because he was physically disabled at time of writing. But this is your blurb :). The article itself reads fine. Perhaps a little bit of 'background' on the author would be helpful (even though he is linked), and perhaps a bit more prose in the 'reception' section talking about a wider range of views... but otherwise, I think this one is a go.
