Karl Martin Sinij\u00e4rv (born 4 June 1971) is a poet.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sinij\u00e4rv was born in Tallinn. He attended school in Tallinn and studied Estonian and English philology and law at the University of Tartu. He has worked for the press, at advertising companies, been the presenter of cultural broadcasts OP!<\/em> and J\u00fcri \u00dcdi klubi<\/em> (\u2018<\/span><\/span><\/span>J\u00fcri \u00dcdi<\/a><\/span><\/span> Club\u2019) on Estonian Television. As of 2023, Sinij\u00e4rv works as cultural adviser of the National Library of Estonia. He has participated in the literary groupings Hirohall and Estonian Kostabi Society. He has been a member of the Tartu Young Authors\u2019 Association and, from 1992, of the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union (chairman 2007\u20132016). He has been awarded the Order of the White Star, Class 4 (2013). His grandfather was the poet <\/span><\/span><\/span>Erni Hiir<\/a><\/span><\/span> (1900\u20131989).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sinij\u00e4rv has published poetry in the press from the late 1980s; his first poetry collection Kolmring<\/em> (\u2018Threecircle\u2019) appeared in the poetry cassette of 1988 together with the texts by <\/span><\/span><\/span>T\u00f5nu Trubetsky<\/a><\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span><\/span>Ringo Ringvee<\/a><\/span><\/span> and <\/span><\/span><\/span>M\u00e4rt V\u00e4ljataga<\/a><\/span><\/span>. Sinij\u00e4rv is notable for his idiosyncratic manner of expression in which the avant-garde styles of the early 20th century and language games and experiments play a significant role. An essential feature of his poetry is ethnofuturism, which merges the archaic content and the futurist form or the archaic form and modern content. Some of his poems, however, are more lyrical. In addition to futurist and surrealist allusions, connections with Anglo-American and rock culture have a significant place in his creation; his poems include quotations and parts of sentences in English. Healthy hedonism also has its place.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collections Vari and viisnurk<\/em> (\u2018Shadow and Pentagram\u2019, 1991) and S\u00fcrWay<\/em> (1992) contain hints of futurism, surrealism and the style characteristic of Estonian poetry of the 1920s \u2013 \u2018poetry of the time\u2019 (ajaluule<\/em>).\u00a0 There are abundant different linguistic devices and puns. In the first collection, the tonality is mainly lyrical, in the second \u2013 surrealist. Neli sada keelt<\/em> (\u2018Four Hundred Languages\u2019, 1997) was printed on sheets of beer-bottle labels like Lendavad sead<\/em> (\u2018Flying Pigs\u2019) by <\/span><\/span><\/span>Albert Kivikas<\/a><\/span><\/span> in 1919. From the second half of the 1990s, his poetry has become more serious and mundane, e.g., the collection Artutart & 39<\/em> (2002), which received the Literature Endowment Annual Award. Among everything else, the collection includes several culinary allusions, which hint at another of Sinij\u00e4rv\u2019s hobbies; namely, he has also acted as a food critic and published Poissmehe kokaraamat<\/em> (\u2018Bachelor\u2019s Cookbook\u2019, 2000).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playfulness and searches for the form are also expressed in three collections with the title Kaardipakk<\/em> (\u2018Card Deck\u2019, 2001, 2006, 2011) where each playing card has, in addition to usual markings, a poem. Along with Sinij\u00e4rv, the collections include texts by <\/span><\/span><\/span>J\u00fcrgen Rooste<\/a><\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span><\/span>Elo Viiding<\/a><\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span><\/span>Asko K\u00fcnnap<\/a><\/span><\/span> and <\/span><\/span><\/span>Triin Soomets<\/a><\/span><\/span>. The collection Kuradiratas<\/em> (\u2018Devil\u2019s Wheel\u2019 2018) by Sinij\u00e4rv, Rooste and K\u00fcnnap is also in the form of cards. This trio has also published other joint works. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sinij\u00e4rv has written many literature reviews and afterwords, compiled collections and translated.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
