\n\tAbout Kaupo Meiel<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKaupo Meiel (born 28 September 1975) is a writer and journalist.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMeiel was born P\u00e4rnu. He attended school in P\u00e4rnu and studied Estonian language and literature at the University of Tartu. Meiel has worked for the newspapers P\u00e4rnu Postimees<\/em> and Postimees<\/em>, Postimees Publisher and Estonian Public Broadcasting. Hei is a member of the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union from 2008. He has received the Kultuurip\u00e4rl (Cultural Pearl) Award and the Order of the White Star, class V (2016).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHis debut collection of poetry Pol\u00fcgrafisti k\u00e4siraamat<\/em> (\u2018Typographer\u2019s Handbook\u2019, 2006) stands out with its puns which mostly circle around different aspects of the arts of lettering and typography. Meiel\u2019s characteristic witty and cheery calembouric games on words and language occupy the central place in the collections Eesti elulood<\/em> (\u2018Estonian Biographies\u2019, 2008) and L\u00fchistu koosolek<\/em> (\u2018Meeting of a Short Circuit Society\u2019, 2017). Topical spirituality is expressed in the poetry collection Mu sokid on terved<\/em> (\u2018My Socks are Whole\u2019, 2010), which reflects the economic crisis, the flood in P\u00e4rnu, everyday life and Jesus who has been settled into the present time.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Estonian Television, Meiel has been the editor and consultant of Kirjandusministeerium<\/em> (\u2018Ministry of Literature\u2019) and the scriptwriter of the satirical programme Ongi Koik<\/em> (\u2018That\u2019s All\u2019). He has presented comments of the day on the Vikerraadio channel. During Sunset Festivals at Kabli, Meiel has organised Cosmonautic Literary Evenings at Kosmonautika Holiday Centre, a former holiday home for Soviet cosmonauts on the Baltic seashore in P\u00e4rnu County. Meiel\u2019s literary criticism, essays and columns have been collected into the book Turg on jumal<\/em> (\u2018Market Is God\u2019, 2014).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
