About the author
Katri Suoranta, born Katri Maria Wähä-Muotia in Hämeenkyrö on March 12, 1899, was a Finnish poet. Reference sources describe her as a poet, writer, and elementary school teacher, and Finnish-language biographical listings note that she died in Karhula on July 18, 1985.
Her known books include the poetry collection Kuvastin (1926) and the anthology Kolme (1930), created together with Elina Vaara and Katri Vala. Bibliographic records also show her poems appearing in the magazine Tulenkantajat, linking her with the lively literary culture of the period.
She is also remembered as a translator: Finnish reference sources note that she translated poems by Anna Akhmatova for the magazine Nuori Voima in the 1930s. No suitable verified portrait image was found on the accessible source pages used here, so a profile image is not included.
