Grand Futurological Congress: Tõnis Vilu (Estonia)

Monday, May 6th
17:00
The University of Tartu Library conference hall

In the past fifteen years, Tõnis Vilu has been perhaps one the most influential poets in the Estonian literary landscape. He will deliver a presentation examining the development of a poet’s “late phase work” through various case studies, and why such a distinction arises. Can this life trajectory also be projected into the future – predicting a creative turning point? After the presentation, Vilu will converse with poet Jüri Kolk. The conversation will be in Estonian, with simultaneous interpretation into English.
