Drug OD?
Trying way to hard to look edgy.

OK, I could be my usual sardonic self and say, well I guess he's finnished. But there was likely a long literary career ahead for Miki, that won't happen now.
If I had more years in my life, I could wait for someone to produce an effective English translation of O, his present magnum opus, but I will have to trust those who read Finnish and say how fascinating it is.

We don’t get a lot of Finnish poet threads around here. RIP

A rather fey-looking lad, eh? My Finnish is only good enough to find the toilet or a coffee bar, so I’ll most likely be reading his work in translation. Kuolema tekee taiteilijan...

Sometimes the Finnish line comes up faster than we expect.

Loved by the left, I’m guessing. You don’t get published and praised unless you’re a leftist. A gender-fluid Marxist? A flower of evil?

Finnish Sprockets?
Looks like the art majors I saw every time I parked my motorcycle by the campus McDonald’s.

“Finnish Sprockets?”
Thank you! Instantly thought of Dieter when I saw the snaps of this assclown. He certainly has that “before we begin, would you like to touch my monkey?” vibe about him. Or...at least he did. ;)
