About the author
Anna Kaari was the pen name of Anna Kaarina Tuulikki Anderson, née Höglund, born on April 4, 1903, in Orimattila, Finland. She was known as a Finnish poet, and some sources also note that she used the pseudonym Ilona.
Her poetry is remembered for its lyrical, emotional tone. Public-domain editions of her work describe poems shaped by yearning, sadness, love, and nature, with the sea appearing as an especially strong image.
She died on December 21, 1987, in Inyo, California. A confirmed portrait image was not available from the source page I could verify, so no profile image is included here.
