Gösta Ågren (s. 1936) tuli suuren yleisön tietoisuuteen tammikuussa 1989, kun hän voitti kokoelmallaan Jär (suom. Tääl) Finlandia-palkinnon. Hän oli kuitenkin ennen sitä tehnyt jo mittavan tuotannon. Katve sisältää runoja Ågrenin yli 30 vuotta kestäneeltä kirjailijantaipaleelta. Runot on suomentanut Caj Westerberg."Tämän valikoiman teksteistä vain kourallinen on peräisin niistä yhdestätoista runokokoelmasta, jotka ilmestyivät vuosina 1955-1976. "Katve" (En dal i våldet) pohjautuu lähinnä kokoelmiin "Molnsommar" (Pilvikesä), 1978, "Dikter i svartvitt" (Mustavalkoisia runoja), 1980, "Det som alltid är" (Se mikä aina on), 1982 sekä "Den andra guden" (Toinen jumala), 1985. Pidän "Molnsommar" -kokoelmaa varsinaisena esikoiskokoelmanani. Monia runoja olen työstänyt melkoisesti. Runot eivät esiinny kronologisessa järjestyksessä - olen itse asiassa rakentanut niistä uuden runokokoelman. Se sisältää kaiken oleellisen ajalta ennen "Tääl" (Jär) -trilogiaa. Kirjan päättää essee "Eräs ei" (Ett nej) vuodelta 1986. Siinä tehdään selkoa siitä aatevaelluksesta, josta runot syntyvät."-Gösta Ågren
