\n\tAbout Kristiina Ehin<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\n<\/p>\n

Kristiina Ehin (b. 18. VII 1977) is a poet, prose writer, translator, performer and teacher of creative writing.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tShe was born in Rapla as the daughter of the poets Andres Ehin and Ly Seppel (Ehin). She attended Rapla Secondary School number 1 from 1983 to 1995, and from 1995 to 2001 Tartu University, studying literature and folk poetry, gaining an MA in 2004. From 1997 to 1998 she studied at Tartu Art College, also studying creative dance and teaching it; she was a schoolteacher at Vodja in 2005. Since 1996 she has been a freelance writer. Ehin performs frequently, reciting poetry, telling stories and singing, either alone, with her husband the experimental musician Silver Sepp, or with a group (the folk music groups Sinimaniseele, Naised K\u00f6\u00f6gis). Representing Estonia she took part in the Poetry Parnassus cultural programme of the summer Olympic Games in 2012. She was the matron of the 2014 Prima Vista literature festival in Tartu. She taught creative writing from 2011 to 2013 at Viljandi Culture<\/span><\/span> Academy, and continues this at Tartu University. In 2015-2016 she was the university\u2019s Professor of Liberal Arts, and in 2017 Tartu City Writer [in residence]. She is a member of the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union and the literary grouping Erakkond (founded 1997).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tEhin\u2019s debut was in 1993 with poetry in the press; a selection of texts appeared in the Erakkond anthology \u00dcheksav\u00e4gine<\/em> (1997). Her style is charmingly fairy-like, tender and nuanced. She intertwines fragile femininity with a strong sense of women\u2019s rights; she gives importance to her inherited Estonian and Finno-Ugric culture, she is concerned for the care of nature and of the spirit, with an ideal of sincerity, purity and integrity. She is at once serious and maternally caring, by turns humorously mischievous and surrealistically playful, as her father\u2019s daughter. <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHer texts have been presented by groups and at song festivals. \u00dclo Krigul\u2019s oratorio \u2018Swan Bone City\u2019 earned recognition both at home and abroad. Besides several English-language translations of poetry and prose works and radio plays, Ehin\u2019s work has appeared in a score of languages. She herself has interpreted literature from English (F. Forsyth, P. Fitzgerald, R.Bly) and Slovenian. <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
