Yle’s Dancing Bear finalists perform at Poetry Moon Festival, and the evening culminates in announcing the winner of the Dancing Bear Poetry Prize 2022. Minna Joenniemi and Pietari Kylmälä host the evening, where the winner of the Translator Bear Prize is also revealed. Yle Radio 1 airs the evening live.
The finalists are: Lina Bonde: om er mamma & om mig (Förlaget), Anja Erämaja: Olen nyt täällä metsässä (Wsoy), Silja Järventausta: Iltapäivä isolla kirjaimella (Teos), Olli Sinivaara: Puut (Teos), Pelle Romantique: Konerunoja (Enostone), and Olli-Pekka Tennilä: Lemmonommel (Poesia).
Pelle & Romantiks perform at Dancing bear (not after Poetry Marathon, as announced before!).
The event takes place at Tiivistämö and is held in Finnish.
