A Finnish poet whose life was brief, he left behind lyrical poems that kept circulating long after his death. His work is remembered through sources such as Finnish Wikipedia and Wikisource, where several of his poems remain available.

Born in 1848 and died in 1874, Aukusti Edvard Korhonen was a Finnish poet associated with 19th-century Finnish literature. The basic biographical details confirmed here are limited, but Finnish reference pages identify him as a poet and preserve his full name and lifespan.
His legacy seems to rest mainly on his poems rather than on a long public career. Wikisource lists several works under his name, including Kesä-ilta, Missä kuolla tahtoisin?, and Tervehdys, suggesting a small but enduring body of lyric writing.
Because readily available sources are sparse, many personal details about his life are hard to verify with confidence. Even so, the survival of his poems in public archives gives him a quiet place in the history of Finnish poetry.
