Six Finnish poets is an anthology of Finnish-language poetry, translated and/or selected by Vesa Haapala, Lola Rogers, three others, published by Arc Publications in 2013. As an anthology, this book works by plurality: six poetic temperaments, one language field, and a reader asked to notice difference before declaring a tradition. As a readerly object, an anthology like this is best approached by wandering. Skip around. Follow a name. Notice which poem keeps its hand on your sleeve. The point is not completion so much as contact with a language tradition in motion. For a library of poetry in translation, its importance lies in plurality: many voices, many pressures, one opened door.

If you’d like to see international poetry continue and gain traction, consider requesting this work from your local library, or purchasing it from places like Open Books (a poetry only bookstore), Asterism Books (an independent press distributor), or bookshop.org to connect you with your local bookstores.
