About

* 07.11.1973, Estonia
lives in: , Estonia

Born in 1973, Mathura (a Krishnaite pseudonym of Margus Lattik, born from a long interest in the cultures of the East) studied English philology at the University of Tartu. He has studied at the Vrindavan Institute for Higher Education in India and researched the indigenous culture of the island of Palawan in the Philippines.
Mathura has travelled much, and travel is one of his topics in both poetry and poetry-like prose.
As a poet, he has a social undertone, being mentally away from the modern consumerist world. Mathura feels close to the postcolonial authors, Ben Okri and Derek Walcott for instance, and has dedicated poems to them.

The poems of Mathura have been translated into several languages, among them Russian, English, Polish, Swedish, Finnish, Albanian, Spanish, Mari, Chinese, Lithuanian, Hebrew and Hindi. He himself has translated from Hindi, too – a collection of selected poems of Kunwar Narain.
