The poems of Äiti explore the anxieties of childhood, the connection between mother and daughter, and the wellspring of grief that follows a tragic death. Finnish lakes and Pennsylvania rivers flow through these poems, which live in the present, in memory, and in the imagined past. By examining the space after loss, Äiti shows how longing changes us and how we are inextricably entwined with the ones we love.
