SIX FINNISH POETS

Six Finnish Poets the eleventh volume in this series features six writers whose work is symbolic of the connection between the life of poetry in Finland and the life of the poets who write it In Finland poetry is a part of everyday life a way of living founded upon a doityourself attitude that is independent of the approval of critics publishers or the popular masses The poets selected here exhibit the vast range of Finnish poetry from experimental prose to imagerich surrealism and from sparse stark minimalism to ironically melancholy popculture references
