Trull was born in Tallinn. From 1964 to 1975 he attended secondary school number 7 in Tallinn and from 1976 to 1978 studied English at the University of Tartu. After military service, Trull held several jobs. From 1985 to 1995 he worked as departmental and managing editor of the Pikker <\/span><\/i>humour magazine. From 1993 to 1996 he was the editor of the crossword magazine Ristik<\/span><\/i>. Trull has been a member of the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union since 1996 and earns his living as a freelance writer in Tallinn.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ilmar Trull made his debut in 1977 with poems and children\u2019s songs in periodicals and anthologies, and published his own first collection for adults in 1984. In 1991, with Mart Juur, he published the humorous collection Kuumad k\u00e4kid k\u00fclmas \u00f6\u00f6s <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Hot Mess-ups on a Cold Night\u2019), consisting of pieces that had appeared in the magazine Pikker<\/span><\/i>. It was children\u2019s poetry that brought recognition to Trull. Trull is a long-standing contributor to the children\u2019s magazines T\u00e4heke <\/span><\/i>and Hea Laps<\/span><\/i>. Since 1996 he has been providing the children\u2019s page of the weekly Eesti Ekspress <\/span><\/i>with poems, <\/span><\/i>for which he draws the illustrations himself. The best of the poems that appear in the press end up in a collection every couple of years. Trull\u2019s poems for children are frolicsome, rhythmic, and they revel in rhyme. He has a natural gift for putting familiar everyday words in unfamiliar settings, in flight to an imaginary world. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has won the Karl Eduard S\u00f6\u00f6t prize for children\u2019s poetry six times and the Literature Endowment annual award three times.<\/span><\/span><\/span> He has also been awarded the Order of the White Star, V Class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
