Path of Totality
Exploring the sudden loss of her child, the hope that precedes this crisis, and the suffering that follows, this collection of poetry renders a shattering experience with candor and immediacy. This collection is about the eviscerating loss of a child, the hope that precedes this crisis, and the suffering that follows. Spare, plain, sometimes startling in their snatches of humor, Pollari’s poems careen into the “tilted reality” of grief. This is poetry dredged from shock and rage, then dissected with pointillistic precision. Many of the pieces are closer to prose: in plain, forceful, language that will capture readers outside the poetry audience, they uncover and name sentiments outside of what is expected in books about child loss and grief: for instance, the embarrassment Niina felt for letting herself feel hope and joy, for revealing that she desired to be a mother at all, and for having to inform the world that her desire would not be granted. A shattering experience rendered with candor and immediacy, Path of Totality is a book “for anyone who ever expected anything” about a rarely told experience of motherhood.
Contemporary Nordic Literature and Spatiality
This open access collection offers a detailed mapping of recent Nordic literature and its different genres (fiction, poetry, and children’s literature) through the perspective of spatiality. Concentrating on contemporary Nordic literature, the book presents a distinctive view on the spatial turn and widens the understanding of Nordic literature outside of canonized authors. Examining literatures by Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and Finnish authors, the chapters investigate a recurrent theme of social criticism and analyze this criticism against the welfare state and power hierarchies in spatial terms. The chapters explore various narrative worlds and spaces—from the urban to parks and forests, from textual spaces to spatial thematics, studying these spatial features in relation to the problems of late modernity.

Dead Horse
Poetry. Women's Studies. Populated by the quotidian events and things that punctuate our days (air travel, medical exams, bathrooms, phones, etc.), the poems in Niina Pollari's DEAD HORSE are anything but common. Hyperaware, the speaker in these poems "watch es] you watch me." She is mercurial, monstrous "a vampire in a grayly coughing dawn," a lover who wants to put her "thigh meat next to yours," to sit with swan's blood inside her mouth and smile but also tender in her grotesqueness: "I'm nothing / But a massive garbage mountain / Wiggling abundantly / And all I want to know is / Do you love me? / Now that I can dance." And then there it is, that word love. That is the force that ultimate...
Avantgarde Suomessa
Avant-garde in Finland is the first book to provide an overarching introduction to avant-garde art by Finnish artists. The articles in the book discuss the application and development of the cultural ideas of the avant-garde in Finnish art from the early 20th century till the present day. The book focusses on the social, political, and artistic characteristics of avant-garde art and their manifestation in Finnish avant-garde literature, visual arts, architecture, fashion, and music. The book shows the remarkable role of women artists in the development of the Finnish avant-garde. Many artists and groups are presented in the book for the first time. At the same time, the articles highlight connections between well-known Finnish artists and international avant-garde movements that have not been recognized in earlier research. A key theme of the book is the tension between the internationality of avant-garde and the nationalist elements of Finnish culture. The book is peer-reviewed, and its authors are eminent senior scholars and younger researchers.
Iltapäivä
Vasta iltapäivällä voi tulla tietoiseksi kaaresta, jota aurinko on taivaalla tekemässä. Jaana Seppänen kuljeskelee fatalistina Ouagadougoussa ja misantrooppina Roomassa. Vaieten hän odottaa Oostendessa nousuvettä. Toisessa esseekokoelmassaan Seppänen pohtii tarkkaan ja raadolliseen tyyliinsä ikävystymisen, kommunikaation ja väärinymmärrysten teemoja ja peilaa niitä mm. Krzysztof Kieslowskin, Michael Haneken, T.S. Eliotin, Michel Houellebecqin, Pier Paolo Pasolinin ja Imre Kertészin teoksiin. Kohtalo on tumma sävy, joka värjää näkökentän laidat, matalataajuinen jyminä, jonka voi tarkasti kuuntelemalla erottaa maailman hälyn takaa. Tähän mielentilaan, iltapäivään, Seppänen kutsuu lukijansa. Jaana Seppänen on vapaa kirjailija ja kääntäjä. Hän debytoi 2008 romaanilla Lublinin taika. Seppäsen esseekokoelma Carmenin silmät (2011) sai laajasti huomiota ja kehuja. Viimeisin teos on yhdessä Johanna Venhon kanssa kirjoitettu dialogiromaani Revitään rikki se rakkaus (2013).
on kirjoittanut runoja
On kirjoittanut runoja on raportti Sami Liuhdon taiteellisen tutkimusmatkan tämänhetkisestä tilanteesta. Teksti koostuu useista poetiikoista, haikusta errorlyriikan kautta epäpuhtaaseen metrorunouteen. Poetiikkoja yhdistävät menetelmällisyys ja erilaiset rajoitteet.
