Kirsi Marjatta Kunnas (born 14 December 1924 in Helsinki) is a Finnish poet, children's literature author and translator into Finnish. Her extensive oeuvre consists of poems, fairy tale books, drama, translations (e.g. Lewis Carroll, Federico García Lorca) and non-fiction. Her books have been translated into Swedish, English, German, French, Hungarian, Estonian and Polish. She has received several prizes and awards in Finland for her life's work.
Been meaning to read Kirsi Kunnas forever. Now I started my morning with this. It was sweet and pure at heart, pondering life through nature, reminding me of Eeva Kilpi. But to me this didn't have that big of an effect, some sass that Kilpi has was missing. But I'm very curious to read the children's books by Kunnas, I think that is her expertise.
