Jälleen vapaana : $b Runoja
"Jälleen vapaana : Runoja by Hilja Liinamaa-Pärssinen is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. It is a socially engaged, lyrically rich book that explores freedom and justice, the calling and peril of the poet, women’s agency, workers’ lives, exile and hunger, alongside portraits of historical rebels and seekers of truth. The collection opens with powerful poems about the poet’s mission and rejection (“Laulajan rukous,” “Laulajan häätö”), the grief of displacement and famine (“Pakolaisen valitus,” “Nälkämailla”), and solidarity with workers, women, and the poor (“Suffrageetta,” “Laulu työläisnaiselle,” “Karjalan raatajille,” “Veljestyö”). A dramatic set piece on an island prison (“Autiosaarella”) frames steadfast resistance. The “Historiallisia” section reimagines figures from antiquity to modernity—Alcibiades, Mary Stuart, Spinoza, the Paris Commune’s dead, Babeuf—as mirrors for courage, betrayal, and endurance. “Ystävyys” gathers intimate, tender lyrics of care, parting, and longing; “Mielialoja” captures seasonal turns, prisoned May Day, and the insistence that life prevails; and “Mietelmiä” condenses sharp epigrams on hypocrisy, power, marriage, and sham piety. Closing pieces (“Uskonto,” “Mies”) strip away man-made idols and define true integrity as devotion to justice and the common good.
Muistojen mailta : $b Runoja
"Muistojen mailta : Runoja by Hilja Liinamaa-Pärssinen" is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. The book fuses political memory with intimate lyric, moving between prison cells, winter darkness, and the consolations of nature, work, and love. Its likely topic is the aftermath of civil strife and imprisonment, the suffering of the marginalized, and a stubborn hope for renewal and freedom. The book opens with stark prison poems that address a Red prisoner and depict executions, night terrors, and the machinery of confinement. It then offers compassionate portraits of fellow sufferers—young comrades, orphans, an old inmate, a fallen woman—and a haunting Good Friday service of shamed women. Later cycles turn to grief and yearning, meditations in silence, childhood and spring visions, and a defiant call to tear down walls, endure torture, and rise again; Time and Hunger appear as allegories, and a mother urges her son toward justice. In freer verse the voice breathes open air: red dreams, spring birds and first anemones, orchards and the dignity of free work, a sleeping nation, and a vow to join the struggle. The closing garden of memories forms an intimate love sequence that moves from rapture to loss, carrying the book from trauma toward resilience and both inner and outer freedom.
