***[Mis on see luuletaja luule]

Mis on see luuletaja luule?

See on: kui mõtled elule

Mis on see inimese osa
siin laias ilmas?
End mitte ära magada.
Pea seda silmas.

Juhan Viiding (1948–1995) was a professional actor in the Estonian Drama Theatre, acting in several important roles (Peer Gynt, Hamlet etc), wrote film scripts, staged and played in films as well. And, he was one of the most important and most playful poets in the 20th century in Estonia, publishing his most well-known works under the pen-name Jüri Üdi. Jüri Üdi was the principal mould for poetic language for a whole generation; he revolutionised the language of Estonian poetry.

Juhan Viiding’s poetry was born of the conditions of historical injustice, stagnation of society and censorship. Allegory and reading between the lines are two keywords reading his poetry. He debuted semi-underground with The Song of a Realistic Angel (1968). In his lines – as well as on the stage – he was light, with lambent wit, radiant, at the same time painfully serious and tense, fighting for the personal freedom of everybody.

His expressive manner of reading and singing his poetry made him a living legend. He is the father of Elo Viiding, one of the most interesting poets of contemporary Estonia.
