\n\tAbout Aita Kivi<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAita Kivi (born Liive; 20 December 1954) is a poet, prose writer and journalist.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKivi was born in Tallinn. She attended school in Tallinn and studied at Tartu State University and Tallinn Polytechnical Institute (now Tallinn University of Technology), graduating from it as a construction engineer. She has worked at the Construction Research Institute, Tallinn Polytechnical Institute and Valgus publishing company. Since the 1990s, Kivi has worked in journalism, e.g., been the managing editor of the magazine Anne<\/em>, chief editor of the magazines Kodukiri<\/em>, Kodukolle<\/em> and Eesti Naine<\/em>; since 2019, chief editor of the magazine Kodu ja Aed<\/em>. She is a member of the Tallinn Young Authors\u2019 Association, of the Estonian Association of Journalists and, from 1993, of the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union. Aita Kivi\u2019s son is journalist, writer and poet Krister Kivi.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAita Kivi entered literature as a poet, her debut collection Usaldades<\/em> (\u2018Trusting\u2019, 1986) moves along the paths of a young woman\u2019s feelings just as her following poetry collections; a selection of her poetry has been gathered into the collection \u00c4ra m\u00f6\u00f6du must l\u00e4hedalt<\/em> (\u2018Don\u2019t Pass Me Closely\u2019, 2014). The heavy-rock group Paradoks made its title poem into a song which became a hit in Estonia in the late 1980s.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKivi\u2019s prose is also centred on the theme of the woman. Her debut novel Jumalak\u00e4pp<\/em> (\u2018Early Purple Orchid\u2019, 1996) stands out with its outspoken eroticism and detailed depiction of the era. The following novels and short prose also concentrate on women\u2019s emotional life and relations against the background of a concrete era; for example, the novel Keegi teine<\/em> (\u2018Someone Else\u2019, 2014), which won the A. H. Tammsaare literary award of Albu parish, reflects the years of the economic crisis. Psychoanalysis can be discerned in the novel N\u00e4htamatud traagelniidid<\/em> (\u2018Invisible Bastings\u2019, 2021), which is centred on family ties, the role of the biological father and the woman.\n<\/p>\n
