- Tallinn’s Literary Wednesdays season opens on Sept. 2 at the black-ceilinged hall of the Tallinn Writers’ House.
- Adam Cullen, Asko Künnap, Jürgen Rooste and Karl Martin Sinijärv will appear, marking 25 years since the publication of the poetry collection “Kaardipakk.”
- The series begins its 64th season and is described as Estonia’s longest-running literary events programme.
Tallinn’s Literary Wednesdays will open their 64th season with a reunion of four poets and the first public reading of a new work.
Adam Cullen, Asko Künnap, Jürgen Rooste and Karl Martin Sinijärv will take the stage at the Tallinn Writers’ House on Sept. 2. The evening will also mark 25 years since the publication of “Kaardipakk,” a full-sized deck of cards featuring texts by five poets.
The series began in the newly completed Writers’ House in spring 1963. Its events drew strong audiences during the 1970s and 1980s, before falling into a period of inactivity after Estonia regained independence. The Estonian Writers’ Union revived Literary Wednesdays in 1997, and the programme has continued since then.
