Helsingin Sanomat Literature Prize goes to poet Sanna Karlström [Finland]:
But what isn't beautiful in Finnish? Look at this:
It's an extraterrestrial tongue. Primiti too taa.
Sanna Karlström, a student of aesthetics at the University of Helsinki, has won this year’s Helsingin Sanomat Literature Prize for her collection of poetry Taivaan mittakaava ("The Scale of Heaven").
The EUR 11,500 prize, awarded for the best first work of literature, was handed out for the 10th time.
In the unanimous view of the panel of judges, in her literary debut Karlström "commands the structure of poetry exceptionally well. Every verse has meaning, and the perfection of the arrangements makes it necessary to use a word that has nearly disappeared from the language of criticism: beauty".
But what isn't beautiful in Finnish? Look at this:

It's an extraterrestrial tongue. Primiti too taa.
