Bilingual translation by Ilmar Lehtpere of Kristiina Ehin's poems. Selected from Emapuhkus (Tallinn: Pandekt)2009. Translated from the Estonian by Ilmar Lehtpere Introduced by Sujata Bhatt PBS Recommended Translations Summer 2010 "Here is a generous, honest imagination: visceral, shamanistic and wise. Kristiina Ehin is a visionary poet with a discerning and distinctive voice, a voice resonant with genuine passion, close to the primordial world of spirts and myths, but also rooted in history and in contemporary life. There is a refreshing lightness and originality to her poems, which are nonetheless poignant. She is able to express strong emotions without being sentimental. Her work has truly haunted me; it has entered the deepest layer of my being with its rare combination of directness and subtle nuances, ancient traditions and modernity."
