Leino's birthday on 6 July was named Eino Leino Day (Eino Leinon päivä) as well as day of Finnish poetry and summer in 1992, and it's an official Finnish holiday.
Eino Leino was a born poet and the first writer to use Finnish fluently for all artistic purposes. From a basis in popular tradition and the Kalevala, Leino's work broadened in the direction of European literature, and he became an intellectual cosmopolitan. Aware of his destiny, Leino was a fighter and artist with whom Finns still feel a close kinship.
Eino Leino (born Armas Einar Leopold Lönnbohm; 6 July 1878 – 10 January 1926) was a Finnish poet and journalist who is considered one of the pioneers of Finnish poetry and a national poet of Finland. His poems combine modern and Finnish folk elements.
