17 Poems (Swedish: 17 dikter) is a 1954 poetry collection by the Swedish writer Tomas Tranströmer. It was Tranströmer's debut book: he had previously only been published in journals.[1] The book was well received in the Swedish press and praised for its formal confidence and imagination in metaphors.[2]

Several of the poems in 17 poems have been set to music.[3][4]
