Martin Vabat (real name Martin Ellermaa, born 2 April 1981) is a poet and a novelist. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Vabat was born in Rapla. He completed his BA studies of history at the University of Tartu cum laude<\/i> in 2005. He is a member of the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union<\/span> from 2014.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He made his debut with poems in the journal V\u00e4rske R\u00f5hk<\/i> and, in 2006, published his first collection Mina olengi kirjandusklassik<\/i> (\u2018I\u2019m a Classical Author Indeed\u2019). In his first collection, Vabat is rebellious; the book expresses haughtiness towards nearly everyone. In the poetry collection Naerutaltsutaja<\/i> (\u2018Tamer of Laughter\u2019, 2009), free-verse punk poetry has been replaced with more moderate intellectual verses. His third poetry collection Hargumine<\/i> (\u2018Branching\u2019) appeared five years later. Like in the second collection, the central place belongs to social criticism and religiosity. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The fourth poetry collection Maahingamisp\u00e4ev<\/i> (\u2018Earth Breathing Day\u2019, 2016) testifies to changes in his poetry. Anger and frenzy have disappeared. Although the religious dimension appeared in Vabat\u2019s poetry earlier too, in Maahingamisp\u00e4ev<\/i> it has become purer, more personal and also weightier. The texts of the collection form a tightly interwoven organic whole where each text is in dialogue with the others and inseparable from the composition. The author has remained true to free verse but also writes prose poetry. Connection with his roots, rusticity, honouring of ancestors and spiritual leaders have become significant for him. The fifth poetry collection Lootuse akende vaikus<\/i> (\u2018Silence in the Windows of Hope\u2019, 2017) continues the purified manner of the previous collection.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Vabat\u2019s poems have been published in the journals V\u00e4rske R\u00f5hk<\/span><\/i> and Looming<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
