\n\t\"Helvi<\/a><\/p>\n

Helvi J\u00fcrisson (real name from 1953 Helvi Volkonskaja, from 1962 Helvi Soans, 5 X 1928 \u2013 16. IX 2023) was a poet, translator and children\u2019s writer.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJ\u00fcrisson was born in Tallinn, spent her childhood in Kuressaare and completed secondary school in Tallinn in 1947. Thereafter, from 1947\u20131953, she studied medicine at the University of Tartu. She graduated specialising in pulmonology and worked from 1953\u20131954 at a tuberculosis hospital in Moscow. Thereafter, she worked at different Estonian hospitals until retirement in 1985. She was a member of the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union from 1972. She was the mother of the actor, musician and writer Peeter Volkonski (b. 1954) and the writer and journalist Kerttu Soans-Tammisto (b. 1961).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJ\u00fcrisson made her debut in the journal Looming<\/em> in 1956 and published her first poetry collection in 1961. She mostly wrote meditational poetry on love and nature, heartfelt verses and short prose for children, but she also repeatedly spoke out on social themes in her verses.\u00a0 Some bitterness can often be felt in her poetry; therefore, critics have noticed a similarity with Mats Traat\u2019s lyricism. As performed by Joel Steinfeldt from 1987, the song M\u00e4gra maja<\/em> (\u2018Badger\u2019s House\u2019), created to the words of a poem by J\u00fcrisson, became famous all over Estonia. During the new national awakening in the Estonian SSR, it was perceived as an allegory which expressed opposition to Russification caused by massive immigration.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJ\u00fcrisson\u2019s books for children and young adults have been translated into Bulgarian, Finnish, Lithuanian and Polish. Helvi J\u00fcrisson translated poetry from Bulgarian, French, Latvian, Romanian, Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian into Estonian. In 2001, Helvi J\u00fcrisson was awarded the Order of the White Star of the Medal Class of the Republic of Estonia.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
