Tapio Riikonen "Karu Kamarani : Runoja by Heikki Välisalmi" is a collection of poems written in the early 20th century. The book blends nature lyricism, social critique, and intimate reflection, centering on the Finnish homeland, its seasons and landscapes, the dignity and hardship of ordinary people, the moral wounds of national division, and the consolations and trials of love. The poems move from hymns to lakes, forests, snow-bright fields, spring and midsummer, and ancestral “sacred groves,” to sharp portraits of society: an opportunistic businessman and a blustering official, a hypocritical judge and a prohibitionist caught drunk, and a Christmas vignette that contrasts warm abundance with bare poverty. There are occasional poems to schools and farmers, tributes to the mother-soil, and a lament for lost unity coupled with a clear plea: no hatred, no revenge, only justice and humaneness. The final section turns inward to love—yearning, fleeting bliss, doubt, heartbreak, and the search for peace—set against luminous nature images. Together the sequence honors the land and common folk, condemns vanity and cruelty, and asks for moral courage tempered by compassion.
