You can support the export of Finnish poetry and give translators a boost – and most importantly, send a Finnish poem out into the world!
(...)
The Poetry in Translation campaign will commission professional, high-quality translations of Finnish poetry into other languages. But the poems translated as part of the campaign won’t just loiter between the covers of a book. We’re also going to print them on postcards and publish them on the Lyriklines poetry website.
The languages featured in the campaign are English, Spanish, Croatian, Polish, French, German, Danish, Czech and Russian. Works by 15 Finnish poets have been selected: Bo Carpelan, Anja Erämaja, Saima Harmaja, Jukka Itkonen, Sanna Karlström, Susinukke Kosola, Kirsi Kunnas, Arto Melleri, Mirkka Rekola, Henriikka Tavi, Olli-Pekka Tennilä, Tuomas Timonen, Sirkka Turkka, Jukka Viikilä and Sinikka Vuola
Around 50 professional translators have signed up to the project.
