Residency artists and researchers Literature Henriikka Tavi Poet Currently I’m working on poetry, and am also writing prose for children. During my stay at the Saari Residence I plan to concentrate mainly on poetry. In addition to my writing work I’m co-editor of the poetry publication Tuli&Savu. I also work as a professional translator and edit lyric translations. I’m an active member of the Nihil Interit poetry collective. Sometimes it feels like my life is just one big literary circle. During my two-month stay at the Saari Residence I will have the luxury of being able to concentrate fully on reading and on my writing. While at the Saari Residence I got a large proportion of a poetry collection completed. Thanks to the stay the overall structure of the work has now clarified considerably, and has also grown handsomely in size. The prospects for completing the work are now very promising.
