Residency artists and researchers Literature Silja Järventausta author At the Saari Residence, I will be working on a prose poetry manuscript that has had the working title Fiktiivinen tietokirja aikuisille (”fictive non-fiction for adults”) since 2012. I will think of a new name for the book at the Residence. The manuscript’s texts are a variety of poems, stories and modified factual texts. The texts’ subjects encompass natural phenomena, circadian rhythm, religion, World War II and the lives and perspectives of different characters. I want it to be textually wired to the fullest, to have the reader read the language of the book and to feel as much as possible: I want to turn everything into letters and the letters to feelings. At the Saari Residence, I will focus on the order of the manuscript’s parts and its entity. I will evaluate how the overall theme of ’leaving’ is present in the texts. At the same time, I will consider how well the transitions from the city to the country and back flow in the book.
