Selected from Emapuhkus (Tallinn: Pandekt)2009.Translated from the Estonian by Ilmar LehtpereIntroduced by Sujata BhattPBS Recommended Translations Summer 2010Here 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.- Sujata Bhatt (from her introduction)Part of our Visible Poets series edited by Jean Boase-BeierISBN: 978-1906570-53-8 (pbk), 978-1906570-54-5 (hbk)Dimensions: 216 x 138 mmPages: 110Bilingual edition Estonian / EnglishPublished July 2010
