Review of the self-published hardcover edition (2020) crowdfunded through Hooandja
Janu on... is a beautifully designed collection of Estonian poetess Kristiina Ehin's recent work which looks back on her family's history and then that of all Estonians and the entire world towards the beginnings of the current pandemic. It is elaborately illustrated with the graphic collage works of Gabriela Urm which incorporate archival and present day photographs with drawings.
Many of the poems have introductions by Ehin to describe her inspirations or reasons for writing them. My favourites in the collection were the extended family tributes Minu suguvõsa naised (My Family's Women) and Minu suguvõsa mehed (My Family's Men).
Ehin is also known as a popular song lyricist, and the collection includes one recent song lyric, see Link below.
