Oh igal alal ennast täiendanuna
kipun vägisi renessansiinimeseks
laiali lagunema.

Kalju Kruusa, born in 1973 in Tallinn, is an Estonian poet who claims to "never wear plainclothes" as a writer. Even the name Kalju Kruusa is but a pen-name (a small poem in itself, as noted by critics, with Kalju meaning 'Rocky, Cliff, Craig,' and Kruusa meaning 'Pebbles, Shingle, Scree').
Kalju Kruusa entered the Estonian literary field in the 1990s among the line-up of the young writers' group Erakkond ('Hermit-kind'.
The year 1999 saw the release of Kalju Kruusa's debut collection Meeleolu (Frame of Mind). After this release, new collections – where his original works mingle with translations – have followed on a regular basis. As a translator, editor and publisher, Kalju Kruusa is also a co-founder (with Hasso Krull) of the first Estonian eZine (online magazine) of translated poetry called Ninniku, where he held the position of co-editor from 2001 to 2010. Kalju Kruusa has translated poetry, prose and plays from Chinese, English, Finnish, French, Italian, Japanese and Korean into Estonian.
In 2012, his collection Tühhja (Nothing, 2010) won the Estonian Cultural Endowment’s Literary Award for poetry. Books of Kalju Kruusa's poetry have been translated into both Swedish and Italian.
