About This Book

Kokoelma esittää balladimaisia ja lyyrisiä virsiä, jotka ammentavat mytologiasta ja kansanperinteestä. Runot kuvaavat kohtaloa, kuolemaa, rakkautta, kostoa ja kaipuuta synnyinseudulleen, vaihdellen sankaritarinoiden, itkun ja huumorin sävyissä. Kertojaääni yhdistää arkaistisia kielikuvia ja kansanomaisen kerronnan, ja tekstit rakentavat myyttisiä tilanteita, joissa luonnonkuvat ja ihmisten tunteet kietoutuvat toisiinsa. Teos on järjestetty kahteen sarjaan, joiden runot täydentävät toistaan tunnelman ja teeman vaihtelulla.
