Lauri Otonkoski (born 1959) has worked on many fields of culture. He is a poet, musician, essayist and music critic. He’s also the chairman of the Finnish PEN.

He has published eight collections of poems, a children’s book and essays. In his poems the world flows through senses and consciousness. The singular observation gets seasoned by irony. Otonkoski’s form of expression is conversational: although his poems often begin with a single thought or idea, they nonetheless quickly merge into a swell of images and reflections. He plays with language and word associations.

Otonkoski writes many different kinds of poems: resounding verses swim in fluid harmony with short, almost aphoristic stanzas, pounding inventories and poems which verge on a somewhat essayistic style. The way in which he employs various literary and cultural points of reference is particularly notable: these references appear throughout the texts and do not scorn at any holes in the reader’s cultural awareness.
