On March 9, ex-figure skater Kiira Korpi published Hyppää Vaan! -poetry book (Otava, 2023).
Such is one of the poems.
Time to go
is near.
Then you have to leave
when things are
at its most beautiful,
he said.
I’m leaving now.
Nicely,
with ease,
thanking you for the teachings.
The poems in the book have caused a lot of discussion on social media, including the messaging service Twitter.
– Don’t know whether to cry or laugh at that example poem? It must not be easy to become a poet without having studied literature or writing at all? One Twitter user writes.
One poem that caused an uproar contains profanity.
You fucking devil.

Editor of Helsingin Sanomat Arttu Seppänen according to him, it is a “sad book of poems”.
Korpi responded to the critics on Tuesday evening through his Instagram post. He stated in his publication that he had read all the criticisms with interest.
– There are many kinds of poems in the world, and sometimes it is not essential whether the texts are classified as poems, meditations or something else, Korpi wrote in his publication.
