About This Book

A biographical portrait of a young northern Finnish poet that weaves together her Finnish and Swedish poems with letters and recollections to trace her brief life, family background, education, and the natural landscapes that shaped her sensibility. It recounts childhood and seminary years, the emergence of lyrical talent, friendships and sources for the material, and the editorial effort to collect scattered poems. The narrative emphasizes the poet's restless imagination, devotion to nature, religious upbringing, and the unfulfilled promise of an early death, while presenting poems and correspondence within chronological context.
