\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

Valeria R\u00e4nik (born 19 August 1964) is a poet and prose writer.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tR\u00e4nik was born and attended school in Moscow. She acquired the qualification of an electronics engineer at the Moscow Institute of Radio Engineering, Electronics and Automation. Thereafter, R\u00e4nik studied Estonian and Finno-Ugric philology at the University of Tartu; the master\u2019s thesis she defended there dealt with Lehte Hainsalu\u2019s creation. R\u00e4nik was a member of the Hirohall grouping and has been a member of the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union since 1991.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter publishing verses in the press, R\u00e4nik issued her first poetry collections Elluj\u00e4\u00e4mine<\/em> (\u2018Survival\u2019) and Orb<\/em> (\u2018Orphan\u2019) in 1990. These received the Eduard Vilde Prize in Literature (1991), Orb additionally got the Betti Alver Debut Prize (1990). An essential place in R\u00e4nik\u2019s poetry belongs to the change of the language and cultural environment, to being an Estonian. The series of poetry collections with the word \u201cajast\u201d (about the time) in their titles foreground the more sociocritical attitude in contrast to the purely economic view; an essential place belongs to spiritual independence and ethics. Examples of multilingual poetry can be found in the collection Linnad kasvavad \u00fcmber metsa: valik luulet 1984\u20132014<\/em> (\u2018Towns Growing Around the Forest: Selection of Poetry from 1984\u20132014\u2019, 2014). A significant place in R\u00e4nik\u2019s creation belongs to the theme of nature and animals, particularly cats and lynxes. She has studied lynxes thoroughly, collected materials and published books about them. Cats and children are the main characters in the book \u00dclej\u00f5el, Kassilaiu pealinnas<\/em> (\u2018In Cat Islet Capital Beyond the River\u2019, 2000) and its sequel (2013). The former received the Literature Endowment Annual Award.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2014, R\u00e4nik announced that she had finished issuing books on paper as she did not want to contribute to cutting down of forests, adding that \u201cthere are other ways to publish books.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\tShe has received a prize from the Mother Tongue Society for collecting language material (1994) and a special award at the playwriting competition of the Estonian Theatre Agency for the play Mullamustuke<\/em> (1995).\n<\/p>\n
