Edith Södergran


long hours to wait at Helsinki-Vantaa airport. the novel, Snow, I lost it from my luaggage.
very lost without the book to spend the time. sit in a cafe and read a free magazine, SixDegree. good, it is in English. Love to learn that a play about the finn-Swedish modernist poet, Edith Södergran is performed. dying young, at the age of 23 (1892-1923). die from tuberculosis.

oh yes, with wireless, maybe i can connect to the web here. COOL it works. immediately find the info and poems of Edith. soly the titles are beautiful, All the echoes in the woods, The stars are swarming.... one of the book, called Love and Solitude.
