Mytologi

In this fourth poetry collection, Galer has assembled new poems with a slight twist. The poems themselves highlight her animist spiritual realm, and the global threat of climate change, common themes in her work for decades. But, in addition, each poem is accompanied by an annotation, a small memoir of the various experiences and thoughts that made her stop in an ordinary day and bring forth a new poem. Readers of poetry will enjoy seeing the poet's process, and readers who might ordinarily pass on reading poetry but who enjoy reading memoir will appreciate this glimpse into the writing of a poem.

This book presents current discussions on the concept of genre. It introduces innovative, multidisciplinary approaches to contemporary and historical genres, their roles in cultural discourse, how they change, and their relations to each other. The reader is guided into the discussion surrounding this key concept and its history through a general introduction, followed by eighteen chapters that represent a variety of discursive practices as well as analytic methods from several scholarly traditions. This volume will have wide appeal to several academic audiences within the humanities, both in Finland and abroad, and will especially be of interest to scholars of folklore, language and cultural expression.
