Kilpi's poems, which encompass everything from bawdy humour to compassionate irony, and from haunting expressions of love and loss to an obvious passion for the natural world, have a shamanistic, shape-shifting quality about them. They explore different ways of being: they serve both as companions on the life-journey and as a representation of the journey itself.

Donald Adamson's translations, produced in collaboration with the author, are a memorable introduction for new readers to the wisdom of this mature, sure-footed poet with her wholly individual voice.

Reviews for Landscape Blossoms Within Me (Finnish)

"""Donald Adamson's succinct, immensely enjoyable translations of Eeva Kilpi's poems capture a voice which is direct, ironic, lyrical and robust. These poems light up the darkest corners of experience with apparently casual assurance, and express the curious, addictive pains and wonders of the everyday with wit and an undertow of sorrow."" Helen Dunmore ""... Urgent, honest, compulsive, funny - poems I'd send to friends who say they don't like poetry."" Jen Hadfield"
