About

* 19.01.1942, Tallinn, Estonija
živi v: Tallinn, Estonija

Poet, translator and playwright Paul-Eerik Rummo was born in 1942 in Tallinn, Estonia, as a son of the writer Paul Rummo, and by education is an Estonian philologist from Tartu University. He has worked as a literary editor in the theatre and the culture consultant at the State Chancellery. In the Republic of Estonia he has been the Minister of Culture and Education and the Minister for Population Affairs, and a member of Parliament.

Paul-Eerik Rummo might be called the most paradoxical “living legend” of the nineteen-sixties in Estonia, and he is one of the most important persons in Estonian poetic innovation at that time with his two very powerful collections Tule ikka mu rõõmude juurde (Always Come To My Joys, 1964) and Lumevalgus... lumepimedus (The Blinding Light of Snow, 1966)

In 1968 Rummo published his poetry book with a selection from 1960–1967 at the culmination of the symbolist trend in post-war Estonian literature. His collection Saatja aadress (The Sender’s Address, 1972) spread via samizdat and appeared at last in 1989.

Rummo has also written dramatic texts, radio plays, film scripts, books for children and literary criticism. He has translated the poetry of Dylan Thomas, John Donne, Eugenio Montale, Alexander Pushkin and T. S. Eliot (The Waste Land and Other Poems, 1999).

His Collected Poetry where his newest poetry also appeared for the first time was awarded the Estonian Cultural Endowment’s annual poetry award 2005.
