\n\tPoems <\/strong><\/a>\"Manivald<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

Manivald Kesamaa (7. X 1921 \u2013 8. XI 1985) was a poet, children\u2019s writer and commentator. He is mainly remembered for his verses introducing young people to the Soviet way of thinking, characterized by simplicity and sincerity.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe was born in Narva into a railwayman\u2019s family. He attended Hiiu primary school in Tallinn-N\u00f5mme, Tallinn Boys School of Business, where he graduated in 1941. Having worked for a year as a journalist, he was mobilized into the Red Army. He participates in the Second World War as a scout and a tank-fighter, and published poems in front-line journals. After the end of the war he worked in the editorial offices of Soviet Estonian youth magazines, and was a professional writer from 1954. From 1947 he belonged to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKesamaa produced about ten poetry collections for adults and three selections. As a poet he used realistic imagery, with forms that were traditional for Estonian poetry. His verses flow fluently and express immediate experience; in places they may seem superficial or (in the case of children\u2019s poetry) too directly admonitory. In his later work the cognitive side of his poetry became broader and deeper. Kesamaa\u2019s work values the simple, honest person,\u00a0 unpretentious working morality, and respect for nature.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKesamaa travelled a lot in the Soviet Union and abroad. He published his travel impressions in several books, full of excitement, for adults and young people. Kesamaa\u2019s poetry for children has been collected in the volume Hea, et kasvab laps me majas<\/em> (\u2018Good That There\u2019s a Child Growing In Our House\u2019, 1971) and Kasvan r\u00f5\u00f5muks perele<\/em> (\u2018I\u2019m Growing Up a Joy to My Family\u2019, 1979).<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
