Jonimatti Joutsijärvi

Poet

I live in Turku, and study cultural studies and work as a poet and critic. My debut collection Tule on minun nimeni was published in November 2007, and I have also published literary criticism in the Finnish periodicals Parnasso and Tuli&Savu.

I’m currently working on two projects, one of which will be a poetry collection, and the other a collection of essays on art and other themes that are just too difficult to resist tackling.

It’s very likely that during my forthcoming stay at Saari Residence some texts will also see the light of day which will not fit within either of those projects.
