"Homecoming" includes in their entirety three collections of Bo Carpelan's poems which represent the achievement maturity of one of Finland's greatest poets, whose collection of verse appeared in 1946. "The Cool Day" (1961), "The Courtyard" (1969) and "Years Like Leaves" (1989) are combined in "Homecoming", translated by David McDuff, who also translated Carpelan's classic novel "Axel" (Carcanet, 1989; Paladin, 1990). The "Courtyard" poems are enriched with memories of his 1930s childhood in Helsingfors, the verse rooted in a specific place and time.
