About Me...

For whatever it is worth, I am a being from Finland presently in his 30's.

The vast majority of my poems are inspired and informed by my own existential questionings and wonderings,
mental and existential crises and struggles, as well as by certain weirder preoccupations and facets of my existence—

—however, it would be, in my view, far more fruitful for the readers of my poetry
to have their own experience with it, rather than try and enter it through the limiting prism
of whatever conception they may have of their composer...

My poems are not meant to be only about any one, or few thing(s).
I tend to find that they shift in meaning and reveal multiplicities even as I am still in the
process of composing them—and find new perspectives on them as I return to read them later.
Ideally, anyone could have a similar experience with them.
