Kaarlo Sarkia (11 May 1902 – 16 November 1945[1]) was a Finnish poet and translator who was influenced by romantic poetry. His poems include motifs like childhood memories, love, landscapes and dreamworld, and in his last collection of poetry also his personal death and mankind's sufferings.[2] Together with Uuno Kailas, Sarkia was the most prominent Finnish poet of the 1930s.[3] As Kailas, his poetry also had homosexual themes.[4]
Sarkia published four collections of poetry between 1929 and 1943. In addition to his own works, Sarkia was known as a translator of French and Italian poetry.[5] Sarkia was also a contemporary member of the Finnish literary group Tulenkantajat. Sarkia never had a permanent home or regular job and he used to spend terms in sanatoriums. Sarkia died of tuberculosis at the age of 43.[2]
