Inherited Land II Maria Turtschaninoff’s stunning, internationally acclaimed novel masterfully traces the touching fates of one family and their different ways of living with nature on a farmstead on the edge of the swamp from the 17th century to the present day. For the author herself, however, the novel is above all about love. ❤️

Part III • ”People often say that a writer must find their own voice. I’ve always thought it’s the opposite: a writer should get rid of their own voice. I’ve coined this process as “the ghost’s speech”—the moment when someone else begins to speak through you.” ❤️

Olli Sinivaara sai arvostetun Tanssiva karhu -runopalkinnon ylistetystä runoteoksestaan Puut (Teos, 2021). Kääntäjäkarhun sai Heli Laaksonen Aleksandrs Čaksin runouden suomentamisesta. Onnittelut!
🌳
Olli Sinivaara received the prestigious Tanssiva karhu (Dancing Bear) poetry prize for his acclaimed poem Puut/Trees (Teos, 2022). The Kääntäjäkarhu prize (Translator Bear) was awarded to Heli Laaksonen for translating the poetry of Aleksandrs Čaks into Finnish. Congratulations!

Posted @withregram • @yleuutiset Olli Sinivaara on Ylen Tanssiva karhu -runokilpailun voittaja teoksellaan Puut. ✨🌲
Oletko ennen nähnyt tällaista runonlausuntaa? Sinivaaralla on kuusi SM-kultaa trial-pyöräilystä, joten hän päätti näyttää, miten runon voi lausua pyörällä graniittilohkareilla tasapainotellen.
Sinivaaran luontorunot ovat yhtä aikaa tuoreita ja perinteisiä, perustelee palkintoraati. Raadin mukaan runo ilmaisee kunnioituksensa meitä vanhemmille elämän todistajille, joita löytää niin lähiö- kuin sysimetsien sydämistä.
Vuoden 2022 kääntäjäkarhu-palkinnon voitti Heli Laaksonen käännöstyöllään kirjassa Poimit sydämeni kirjahyllystä.
