Overview
Anselm Hollo (1934-2013)
Born in Helsinki, Finland on April 12, 1934, Hollo moved to the United Kingdom in the 1960s. There, he worked at the Finnish section of the BBC World Service, where he gained recognition as a poet and translator. In 1967 he moved to Boulder, Colorado and married visual artist Jane Dalrymple-Hollo. Hollo translated poetry and essays from Finnish, German, Swedish, and French into English, including Pentti Saarikoski's Trilogy (2003), for which he received the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award from the Academy of American Poets in 2004. He was also one of the early translators of Allen Ginsberg's poetry into German and Finnish. Hollo's poetry collections include Notes on the Possibilities and Attractions of Existence: New and Selected Poems, 1965-2000 (2001), which received the San Francisco Poetry Center Book Award. Anselm Hollo died on January 29, 2013 at the age of 78.
