Hasso Krull

***[Tühi kreeka restoran]

Idioma: estonio

Traducciones: alemán (***[Ein leeres griechisches Restaurant]), inglés (***[An empty Greek restaurant])

***[Tühi kreeka restoran]

Tühi kreeka restoran. Lähevad mööda
inimesed, sakslased, švaabid ja kes
veel, muusikat siin ei mängi.
Restorani nimi on MYTHOS.

Kreeklane toob süüa. Õhukesteks viiludeks
lõigatud lihatükid, krõbe sealiha,
salat ja punane riis. Vaatan aknast välja,
söön, heidan pilgu taldrikule ja

äkki näen: kreeka tähed.
Gyros. Poleites. Mesogaios. Helos.
Iga lihatüki peal on nimi.
Muidugi, need on ju Odysseuse mehed,

kelle Kirke sigadeks muutis. Nüüd
on nende ihu viimaks minunigi jõudnud.
Kreeklane tuleb, naeratab, kastab
kastekannust orhideed, PHALAENOPSIS. MYTHOS.

* 31.01.1964, Tallinn, Estland, Estonia
Vive en: Talinn, Estland, Estonia

Hasso Krull, an Estonian poet, essayist and translator, was born in 1964 in Tallinn. He studied Estonian Linguistics and Literature until 1985 at the Pedagogic University of Tallinn. Krull has played a major role in the propagation of modern French philosophy within the Estonian literary-critical discourse, and has, as a theorist, been primarily concerned with post-structuralism and post-modernism.
Hasso Krull is one of the most important writers and thinkers to emerge from Estonia since the country regained independence in 1991. Among his numerous books of poetry are Talv (Winter, 2006); and Neli korda neli (Four Times Four, 2009). Krull’s poetry is strongly rooted in the Estonian landscape, but reaches far beyond regional concerns due to its attention to the details of modern life and the intellect of the poet. In recent years, Krull has been strongly attracted to mythologies, creation stories and cosmology.
He has received numerous awards, including the Baltic Assembly's Prize for Literature in 2005, and the Annual Prize of the Cultural Endowment of Estonia for poetry in 2002 and 2010. Krull translates from six European languages, and since 2001 is co-publisher with Kalju Kruusa of an internet journal devoted to Estonian translations of poetry.
