Airis Erme\u2019s first poems appeared in the journal Looming<\/i> in 2016. Her first collection of poems R\u00e4\u00e4gime homme<\/i> (\u2018Let\u2019s Speak Tomorrow\u2019) was published in 2018.

The poet uses the rhyme and the metre masterfully. Erme\u2019s poetry is sincere and inquisitive. It includes numerous scenes of nature and a lot of silence; the author also digs into the depths of the Estonian language. Critics have noted the influences of Doris Kareva, Betti Alver and Jaan Kaplinski in Erme\u2019s poetry. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
