Sara Sneck

Sara Sneck (b. 1992, Uppsala, Sweden) is a Helsinki-based poet, with a degree in ecology and evolutionary biology. In her current job, she wades through mosquito-infested swamps and photographs the wings of fruit flies, while in her poetry, the city appears as an ancient animal, molded by the fantasies of its inhabitants. Sneck is fascinated by the symbolistic breach between the subjective and objective universes – the vision of the world from the corner of the eye. She is currently working on her first Finnish-language poetry collection, and enjoys translating her own work into English.

Sara debuts as a translator into Finnish with her translation of Chilean poet Daniel Rojas Pachas.
