4.0 out of 5 stars
An intelligent and melancholic Finnish poet,
This review is from: Trilogy: The Dance Floor on the Mountain, Invitation to the Dance, The Dark One's Dances (Paperback)
The trilogy represents the last and best of Saarikoski's output, just before his death, and is one of the rare bits available in English. The trilogy contains his long poems, broken into sections, that combine a northern European sensibility (joy for the green blades of grass and despair at the burdensome winter just ahead) with his love for Greek mythology, gnosticism, and the Greek New Testament.
One can find a taste of Saarikoski's poetry in the Vintage Book of Contemporary World Poetry. His writing is clever but always accessible. |
