In more recent years, Leena Krohn has become particularly interested in the borderline between humans and machines as a consequence of the advance of information technology. Her poetry collection Suomalainen Mignon, 1977, is inspired by Swedish song writing, while her collections Galleria, 1982, and Sydänpuu, 1984, experiment with a fusion of visual art and poetry. Her mythical, symbolic books are about ethical, philosophical, and metaphysical subjects, such as her epistolary novel Tainaron, 1985. Her debut work was the children’s book about ecological issues, Vihreä vallankumous, 1970, and in the 1970s, following publication of her prize-winning fairy-tales, she turned to adult fiction. She graduated in humanities in 1972 and since the 1980s has earned a living from her writing. Leena Elisabeth Krohn comes from Helsinki.
