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.

This anthology features the work of six of Estonia's most celebrated poets, including Jüri Üdi ja Juhan Viiding, Kauksi Ülle, Hasso Krull, Triin Soomets, Elo Viiding and Jürgen Rooste.

This is a fascinating anthology of diverse voices, from ironic to sincere to humorous and many more subtle tones.Doris Kareva was born in 1958 and has published fourteen collections of poetry and one collection of essays.
