Poems

Abstract

Hasso Krull has been one of the most prominent voices of Estonian poetry since the 1990s. Krull has published twenty books of poetry and received numerous awards. His best-known work is the epic poem Meeter ja Demeeter [Metre and Demeter] (2004), which received the Baltic Assembly Literary Prize in 2005. Krull is a communitarian anarchist and his religious preferences tend towards the Estonian movement of the Maausk [Earth-believers]. Krull has been fighting against the ongoing deforestation of the Estonian landscape, including going to the European Court as a plaintiff to change the law of renewable energy in the EU, without any success. He has offered a conclusive overview of his ecological ideas in a short manual Tänapäeva askees [Modern Asceticism] (2020).
