Description: Life and death are two sides of the same coin; it is on the boundary between them that art is created. My article discusses the relationship between life and death in Tomas Transtromer's poetry. It demonstrates that his concrete images provide access to the imminence and reality of death while at the same time preserving its mysterious nature. Transtromer's poems can act as agents of change, enabling readers to breach the wall of conventional thinking and regard death from a variety of perspectives. Key words death; life; water; boundary
