Tulijoutsen: Runoja

A swirling tapestry of mythic images, this collection opens with the haunting figure of the Fire Swan—its crimson feathers and blazing eyes a symbol of both rebellion and redemption. The poems move through visions of winter seas, solitary swans diving into dark waters, and the fierce, relentless chant of a celestial lute. Each piece blends stark natural detail with an inner fire that seems to both scorch and illuminate the soul.

Later sections explore the tension between oppression and liberation, echoing the struggle of a voice that refuses to be silenced. From haunting lullabies whispered to a child at Christmas to the restless call of unknown oceans, the verses weave a fragile hope amid turmoil. Listeners are invited to wander through these lyrical landscapes, feeling the pulse of ancient myths reborn in modern yearning.
