About the author
Roine Tellervo Bertel was a Finnish poet, born on April 17, 1886, in Jyväskylä and died on August 3, 1964, in Helsinki. Finnish reference sources identify her as a poet, and some also note the names Päivärinta and Swan in connection with her life.
Her surviving public record is fairly concise, but her writing remains accessible through library and digitized book sources. One of the works readily associated with her is Mettisen sunnuntai: runoja, which helps keep her poetry available to later readers.
Because widely available biographical information appears limited, the clearest picture is of a Finnish writer whose legacy rests mainly in her poems rather than in a large published biography. That makes her an especially interesting figure for readers who enjoy rediscovering overlooked literary voices.
