Aare Pilv (b. 15 April 1976, Viljandi) is an Estonian poet, literary scholar, translator and critic. He emerged in the late nineteen-nineties as one of the most remarkable and original of his generation of poets.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pilv matriculated from J. K\u00f6ler Secondary School No 4 in Viljandi in 1994 and defended his baccalaureat (1999) and master\u2019s degree (2002) in the field of Estonian literature at the University of Tartu. 1994-2018 he lived in Tartu, since 2019 in Tallinn. He works\u00a0as a researcher at the Under and Tuglas Literature Centre of the Estonian Academy of Sciences. He belongs to the Erakkond (\u2018The Group of Hermits\u2019) poetry group, the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union and the student society Veljesto.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pilv\u2019s first collections as a poet in the nineteen-nineties, P\u00e4ike ehk p\u00e4ike<\/em> (\u2018Sun or Sun\u2019, 1998) and Tema nimi on kohus<\/em> (\u2018Their Name is Duty\u2019, 1999), stretched the limits of linguistic expression and made profuse use of textual play. Since his 2002 collection N\u00e4gemist<\/em> (\u2018Goodbye\u2019), many of Pilv\u2019s texts have concentrated on childhood memories, Proustian memory images, sensual environmental experiences and meaningful moments. In these, Pilv aims at extreme linguistic precision and nuance, which make his texts unconventional, so that, as before, they can be seen as experimental poetry or literature. Some of Pilv\u2019s texts can be classified as prose.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a literary critic and scholar Pilv has dealt, among other topics, with auto-metatextuality, with Madis K\u00f5iv (compiling a voluminous collection of articles by him for the series \u2018History of Estonian Thought\u2019) and Estonian experimental and avant-garde literature. He has also been a productive theatre critic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aare Pilv has translated Russian futurist and avant-garde literature into Estonian, including Alexander Vvedensky, Daniil Kharms, Aleksey Gastev and Lev Rubinstein, and contemporary Russian-Estonian authors like Igor Kotjuh and P. I. Filimonov. He has also translated a poetry collection by Jaan Kaplinski originally written in Russian and (with Kristi Oidekivi) a seto-dialect poetry collection by Kauksi \u00dclle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aare Pilv has also been an influencial social and political activist, emphasizing in his articles and in social media the need for tolerance and ethics. Pilv\u2019s social activity is characterized by a striving for discussions and decision-making that are based on balanced, thorough and sovereign analysis, even on politically explosive topics. He does not belong to any party.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pilv\u2019s poetry collection Kui vihm saab l\u00e4bi<\/em> (\u2018When the Rain is Over\u2019, 2017) has received the Cultural Endowment\u2019s Literature Foundation Annual Prize, the Ivar Ivask Memorial Prize, the Tartu Culture Bearer prize and Gustav Suits Poetry Prize. His travelogue Ramadaan<\/em> (2010) won the travel book award by the travel agency Go Travel and the travel magazine Go. Pilv has also won several awards for his reviews and articles on literature and theatre.<\/span><\/p>\n
