Kohotettu keihäs : $b Vapausrunoja

A resonant chorus of early‑twentieth‑century Finnish verse unfolds in this free‑form collection, where the natural world and the pulse of the nation are woven together. The poems move through the calendar, turning each month into a vivid tableau of weather, wildlife, and work, while the language swells with the rhythm of folk songs and the stark clarity of modernist expression.

Interlaced with heartfelt dedications, the verses celebrate youthful vigor, communal resilience, and the yearning for freedom, often invoking mythic images of oaks, bears and northern lights. Listeners will feel the contrast between quiet winter stillness and the eruptive energy of spring, all rendered in a voice that is both intimate and sweeping, inviting a reflective yet lively listening experience.
