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]

In connection with the award ceremony of the Södra Latin Tranströmer Scholarship 2014, sixty years after the release of 17 Poems, Gustav Alexandrie's composition "Sammanhang" with text from one of the poems of the collection was premiered.[3]
