plant

Kasemaa made his debut in 2008 and then published other books in quick succession. His first volume of poetry received extremely positive reviews. Hasso Krull spoke of an “acupuncture effect that finds precisely the sensitive areas”, and Tõnu Õnnepalu quotes the composer Erkki-Sven Tüür , who has discovered a “cunning compositional trick” in every poem.

When the author presented his first volume of prose after three volumes of poetry, the criticism was also very pleased and compared Kasemaa with Tõnu Õnnepalu.

Trivia

In the May issue (2018) of the magazine Looming (p. 587) there is a poem with the title Wikipedia errt , which begins as follows:

Vikipeedia eksib
Ma olen raamatuvaras
mitte kirjanik

Mu esimene raamat
ma varastasin selle

Me olime nii vaesed
me raamaturiiul oli nii väike
tahtsin veel lugeda. ...

in German: "Wikipedia is wrong // I'm a book thief / not a writer // My first book / I stole it // We were so poor / our bookshelf was so small / I wanted to read more ..." '
