Anna Thilda May Swenson was born in Logan, Utah on May 28, 1913, the first child of Margaret and Dan Arthur Swenson. May Swenson (May 28, 1913, Logan, Utah- December 4, 1989, Bethany Beach, Delaware) Poet, critic, scholar, editor, writer in residence, and lecturer. She grew up as the eldest of 10 children, in a Mormon household where Swedish was spoken regularly and English was a second language. Much of her later poetry works were devoted to children, although she also translated work of contemporary Swedish poets. Examples of which include: the collection Iconographs (1970) and the selected poems of Tomas Transtromer.
