From 1967\u22121968, he studied Estonian philology at the University of Tartu, from 1969\u20131971 theatre studies at Leningrad Institute of Theatre, Music and Cinematography and from 1976\u20131980 ethnography at the universities of Turku and Helsinki. Due to marriage, Ilus lived in Finland and the US from 1976\u20131979; thereafter returned to Estonia. He participated in underground activities against the Soviet regime. After the restoration of Estonia\u2019s independence, he helped to restore the Estonian Defence League. He is a member of the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union from 1997.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIlus began to write poems in the late 1960s. His verses appeared in underground collections Marm, Kolme mehe laulud (\u2018Songs of Three Men\u2019), \u00d5itsev tuul (\u2018Flowering Wind\u2019), Jumala tuul (\u2018God\u2019s Wind\u2019), Kuller I (\u2018Courier\u2019 I) T\u00f5let I and II.

This company founded by Ilus in 1985 has also published works of Ilmar Laaban and Jaan Oks and a number of translations of Japanese literature.
