Henry Parland was a Finnish-Swedish poet, novelist and cultural journalist (mainly in Swedish press of Finland).

Swedish is sometimes described merely as Parlands fourth language, after German , Russian and Finnish . His style and choice of words seems peculiar and the lyrics contain some completely unique words. During the years in Helsinki wrote Parland mainly poetry. The friend Gunnar Björling helped him with stylistics and spelling. For Henry Parlands most notable works include the novel decomposition.

"Minä näin valon viime yönä
harhailemassa
Suuren ja huimaavan
rautaisen kaupungin yläpuolella

Minä näin mittaamattoman
kirkon
täynnä rukoilevia,
alttarilla
värisevä tulinen jättiläispyörä."
.
.
Tämän kokoelman myötä sai tuntumaa mm. 1920-luvun lopun kaupunkilaiseen elämänmenoon. On tanssia, jazzia, bensiiniä, elokuvia ja naisten sääriä. Huoletonta ja ei kuitenkaan.

«Nå er jeg blitt
forkjølet igjen
sitter hjemme
og nyser poesi
utover skrivebordet.
Basiller og diktmikrober
fyker omkring i rommet;
jeg kan ikke riktig si
hva som er
det ene
og hva som er det andre.»
