Kasper Salonen (b. 1987) is a bilingual translator and spoken word poet from Southern Finland. He was first introduced to Melleri's writing as a teenager while working part-time at a bookstore, and had what amounted to a visionary experience while reading the poet's work. He later began translating Melleri's collected poems in 2013 at the Villa Sarkia literary residency. Salonen would also write his Master's thesis based on this translation process (2015, University of Helsinki).
Finnish poet Arto Melleri (1956—2005) was a multitalented author, performer, and thinker of legendary proportions, with keen insights, a broad bibliography, and a staggering capacity for vivid poetic language. He lead a charmed yet tumultuous life, and he is remembered in Finland today for his wit and wisdom as well as his public persona.
