In this section I intend to put selections of work that is currently in progress, or that forms part of larger translation and writing projects still in the making.
So far, four writers are represented
here: The Finnish poet Eeva-Liisa Manner (1921-1995), the
Finland-Swedish poet Gösta Ågren (b.1936), the Danish poet
Pia Tafdrup, and
the renowned
Finland-Swedish prose author, Tove Jansson. You can read
translated selections from Eeva-Liisa Manner's early verse
collection
and a poem by Gösta Ågren from one
of
his recent collections, Coming Here:
The third item is a translation of Tove
Jansson's first Moomin book, published in 1946:
Another project I am currently working on - albeit slowly - is a series of translations of the work of the Estonian poet Marie Under (1883-1980). For the moment, I have included a few French translations, but eventually I hope to be able to present my own English-language ones here.
