Bio
Miia Paani is a poet from Oulu, Finland. She has published four collections of her work, as well as having poems featured in anthologies, magazines, and online.
Nature is of utmost importance to Paani. Since childhood she has wandered in forests and on beaches with her dogs; this sense of the natural world is ever-present in her poems and aphorisms. Motherhood, womanhood, and the human rights of girls and women are central themes for Paani, while she also investigates meanings behind humanity and the psyche from more universal vantages in her oeuvre.
