\n\tVenda S\u00f5elsepp (17. VII 1923 \u2013 12. V 2006) was a poet and children\u2019s author. His works are mainly concerned with two Estonian seaside towns, Haapsalu and P\u00e4rnu, where he lived and whose landscapes inspired his lyrics.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tS\u00f5elsepp was born in Haapsalu, the son of a potter, and attended schools in Haapsalu. After leaving secondary school he worked for the Haapsalu newspaper L\u00e4\u00e4ne S\u00f5na<\/em>. During the war he served in the Estonian Home Guard. For his wartime activity he was arrested in 1944 on political charges and was sent in 1945 to the Kolyma labour camp. After forced labour in the prison camp and forced exile in Magadan he arrived back in Estonia in 1956 and worked as a product specialist and foreman at commercial and service enterprises in Haapsalu and P\u00e4rnu. From 1974 he was a professional writer.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tS\u00f5elsepp published more than twenty books, most of which can be classified as children\u2019s literature. He made his debut in 1942 in the newspaper L\u00e4\u00e4ne S\u00f5na<\/em>. After his imprisonment and resettlement he published his first poetry in 1957 in the journal N\u00f5ukogude Naine<\/em> (\u2018Soviet Woman\u2019).\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tInitially S\u00f5elsepp\u2019s poetry followed traditional verse forms (sonnet, haiku, tanka); later he turned to free verse and formal diversity in his work. Nature offered S\u00f5elsepp, as a lyricist, stimuli to examine life and himself. The author\u2019s work can be divided into public commentaries on the times and meditative lyrics that portray melodic pictures of nature. In 1993 S\u00f5elsepp published the poetry collection Narilaulud<\/em> (\u2018Bunk Songs\u2019), which consists of experimental mood-pieces from his youth. In the books of verse he published between 1963 and 1993 S\u00f5elsepp dedicated and important place to poetry for children. He also wrote prose books for children, the children\u2019s play N\u00e4\u00e4rinoor<\/em> (\u2018Young Santa Claus\u2019), topical satires and parodies. S\u00f5elsepp\u2019s work has been translated into many languages. In the nineteen-nineties the Haapsalu newspaper L\u00e4\u00e4ne Elu<\/em> published some of his memoirs.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
