Poetry. Jane Piirto's SAUNAS captures the strength and magic of family and tradition. From the frozen landscapes of her Finnish forebears to the ice-clear rivers and cold fields of Michigan's Upper Pennisula, Jane Piirto paints a personal and extraordinary picture. Piirto uses the Finnish national story, Kalevala, to connect her poems to this world. These deeply moving poems are like chants celebrating what sustains us, reminding us of the wonder and mystery in the everyday. As Jim Daniels says, "Unafraid to rail against political injustice and unafraid to laugh at our own foibles, Piirto takes us many places to show us just where she's from."
