Finnish poet, who published her central collections of poems in a five year period from 1932 to 1937. Harmaja's lyrics after her death at the age of 22 gained a cult status among young female readers. Her works have been published more posthumously than during her life time.

Harmaja's first collection of poems, Huhtikuu (Aril), appeared in 1932. Tauno Nurmela gave the work in Kaiku good reviews and referred to Harmaja's grandfather Arvid Genetz. Elmer Diktonius made a remark of Harmaja's "Victorian" tones but considered her nature poems fresh. Huhtikuu was followed by Sateen jälkeen (1935, After rain), Hunnutettu (1936) and Kaukainen maa (1937). ...more

Quotes by Saima Harmaja (?)

“Tuskan ahjossa kerran suli
sydämeni kova ja hiljainen.
Sitä liekit söi, sen puhdisti tuli,
ja itse kuolema takoi sen.

Niin, elämä: aseellas raskaimmalla
lyö, iske! Enää en murtua voi.
Minun sydämeni helisee moukarin alla,
mitä kipeämmin lyöt, sitä syvemmin se soi.”
― Saima Harmaja, Huhtikuu
