\n\tAbout J\u00fcri Kolk<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>

J\u00fcri Kolk (born 19 July 1972) is a poet, prose writer and translator.<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKolk studied Estonian philology at the University of Tartu and worked in various jobs, for example, at a brewery, at a translation bureau and as a journalist. He was a member of Estonian Writers\u2019 Union (from 2014-2021) and Tartu Young Authors\u2019 Association.<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKolk, who is writing mainly in free verse, made his debut in 2009 with the poetry collection Barbar Conan peeglitagusel maal (ja mis ta seal r\u00e4\u00e4kis)<\/i> (\u2018Barbarian Conan in the Land behind the Looking-glass (and What He Spoke There)\u2019). Starting with his first collection, Kolk has been noted for his frequent use of puns and intertextuality, intertwining fragments from different sources. The characteristic features of his poetry are unexpected turns and seeing the world from a novel angle. He writes on general human themes depicting the world of everyday life, which is also the foregrounded theme in his prose. In the short prose with a chatty undertone, the narrator is usually a male character whose usually casual reflections can reach quite a different level as the story develops, like it happens, for example, in the collection Naistep\u00e4ev<\/i> (\u2018Women\u2019s Day\u2019, 2017) where also the story S\u00fcnnim\u00e4rk<\/i> (\u2018Birth Mark\u2019) was published, which won the Friedebert Tuglas Short Story Prize in 2016.<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe collection of articles Argitraagikaid ja teisi artikleid<\/i> (\u2018Everyday Tragedies and Other Articles\u2019, 2021) includes articles published in the press during a decade; several of them focus on the coping and position of creative personalities. Like in his prose, here too, he stands out with lengthier reflections.<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2015 he received the Juhan Liiv Poetry Prize for Arno apooria<\/i> (\u2018Arno\u2019s Aporia\u2019) and in 2016 the Gustav Suits Poetry Prize for Mee lakkumine ei ole meelakkumine<\/i> (\u2018Licking of Honey Isn\u2019t Honeylicking\u2019, 2015). In 2019 he received the Estonian Cultural Endowment Scholarship Ela ja s\u00e4ra<\/i> (\u2018Live and Shine\u2019).<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
