What an exciting tour. So many places, so many poets. 9 performances in 10 days at 4 festivals (w/word festival, Helsinki, Crazy Tartu Festival, Estonia, Runoviikko (Turku, Tampere, Jyväskylä, Mynämäki) and finally at LaBas Performance Festival, Helsinki, ending with performances at Taidehalli (Kunsthalle) and Galleria Huuto in Helsinki. It was also great to be part of the Finno-Ugric project, getting to know poets, writing in Karelian, Udmurt, Maari & Estonian dialects & taking part in translation workshop. Thanks to all who made it possible, especially those organizing: Esa Hirvonen, Juha Kulmala, Jaan Malin, Harri Hertell, Katarina Vuorinen. Thanks to Aare Pilv, who translated my poems to Estonian.
