\n\tPoems<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>\"Kalev<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

Kalev Kesk\u00fcla<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/b>(22. X 1959 \u2013 25. VI 2010) was a journalist and writer.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBorn in Tallinn, Kesk\u00fcla graduated in Estonian philology from the University of Tartu in 1983. From 1983 to 1991 he worked as an editor for the publishers of the Estonian Encyclopedia. From 1991 Kesk\u00fcla worked for the weekly Eesti Ekspress, <\/span><\/i>where for a long time he was the editor of its Areen <\/span><\/i>culture <\/span>supplement and a columnist.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKesk\u00fcla made his debut with verses in the anthology Viis t\u00fcdrukut ja kaheksa poissi <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Five Girls and Eight Boys\u2019) in 1977. His own debut book was the poetry collection L\u00e4bi linna\u00f6\u00f6 <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Through the City Night\u2019, 1986), which caught attention because of its social qualities. This was complemented by four books of poetry, of which the last, Vabariigi laulud <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Songs of the Republic\u2019, 1998), won the annual poetry prize of the Literature Endowment.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKalev Kesk\u00fcla wrote philosophical free verse on important themes of life and society, placing them in a wider skein of mythological and cultural-historical allusions. His work is characterised by ironic sensitivity and occasional pathos. <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKesk\u00fcla got the 2009 annual prose prize of the Literature Endowment for his prose collection Elu sumedusest <\/span><\/i>(\u2018A Life of Tenderness\u2019). In his assessment of the book, Mihkel Mutt called the genre of the texts collected in it as something between marginalia, novelettes and columns.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2008 Kalev Kesk\u00fcla compiled a large collection of memoirs about Mati Unt with the title Undi-jutud <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Unt Stories\u2019).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKesk\u00fcla was an acknowledged expert on wine. He produced the first lexicon of wine in Estonian. <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
