- Description:
- Brooke Boulton, an instructor at Rainy River Community College, presents "A Finnish voice for labor : Aku Paivio's poetry and the immigrant working-class." Boulton gives a biographical sketch of Paivio which includes details from her conversations with Paivio's son Allen. She says that Paivio is the "poet laureate of the immigrant working-class" and examines themes in his poetry which support her claim. Boulton reads two of Paivio's poems, "Rise of the masses" and "To justice, to humanity" and shows how each illustrates his views on labor and immigration. She also discusses the difficulties involved in translating Paivio's poetry from Finnish to English. The recording cuts out briefly just before the question and answer session and then resumes. Part of the "Our daily work/our daily lives" Brown Bag series sponsored by the Michigan State University School of Human Resources and Labor Relations, and the MSU Museum. Held in the MSU Museum Auditorium.
