\n\tAbout Aivo L\u00f5hmus<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAivo L\u00f5hmus <\/span>(21. VII 1950 \u2013 28. III 2005) was a writer and translator.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe was born in P\u00f5lvamaa county and attended Karaski school, graduated from the Tallinn School of Technology in 1969 and from the State University of Tartu in 1976 in Estonian philology. His technological education on the one hand and his grounding in philology from the University of Tartu on the other made Aivo L\u00f5hmus into a sensitive humanitarian, at the same time with diverse practical skills. From 1974 to 1979 he worked on the culture section of the newspaper Edasi<\/span><\/i>, and from 1992 to 1993 as culture editor for Hommikuleht <\/span><\/i>in Tartu. From 1985 to 1997 L\u00f5hmus was a consultant and the treasurer of the Tartu branch of the Writers\u2019 Union. From 1996 he worked freelance. <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAivo L\u00f5hmus started as both a poet and a critic. He wrote his first critical pieces in 1974; his debut as a poet, Aastarangid<\/span><\/i>\u00a0(\u2018Hames of Years\u2019) appeared in 1976. L\u00f5hmus has also written sonnets and dialect poetry. In 1991 L\u00f5hmus produced a verse collection in Finnish, Kysymyksi\u00e4 presidentille <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Questions for the President\u2019) in Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 in Finland. In the same year a Finnish-language documentary film was made about him, Aivo Tartosta <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Aivo from Tartu\u2019). \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHis four collections of poetry, his novel set in Tartu, Alla orgu ja \u00fcle j\u00f5e<\/span><\/i>\u00a0(\u2018Down to the Valley and Over the River\u2019, 1988), and the play he wrote with Madis K\u00f5iv, P\u00f5ud ja vihm P\u00f5lva kihelkonnan nel\u00e4t\u00f5istk\u00fcmnend\u00e4m\u00e4 aasta suv\u00f5l<\/span><\/i>\u00a0(\u2018Drought and Rain in P\u00f5lva Parish in the Summer of \u2018Fourteen\u2019, 1987), give a flavour of this original and diverse writer with his keen ear for language. <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tL\u00f5hmus was also a prolific commentator on public affairs. He published reviews of literature, theatre and film, as well as political issues, setting out the problems perceptively. L\u00f5hmus made a thorough study of the banning and destruction of Estonian books between 1940 and 1953. A survey of his many articles and reviews was published as a separate book, a selection called V\u00f5im ja vari <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Power and Shadow\u2019, 2002).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAivo L\u00f5hmus translated poetry and prose from English and Finnish into Estonian. His great achievement as a translator was arguably his translation into Estonian of Aleksis Kivi\u2019s novel \u2018Seven Brothers\u2019.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
