On the Way Home : An Anthology of Contemporary Estonian Poetry
"Since 1991 when Estonia became independent we have a fresh flowering of Estonian poetry combining traditional themes of the land and the people, their trials and tribulations, and a modern note of the scars of the cultural memory, untiring intellectual quest and cultural nationalism.
The poems in this anthology secure for Estonian poetry a permanent niche in world poetry for their range and depth, richness and variety of form, as well as the substance and quality of the visions.
An excursion into Estonian poetry under the able guidance of Professors Talvet and Hix is sure to be a sustaining and edifying experience for any reader." (jacket)
