Life

Timo Maran graduated from high school in Tallinn in 1993 and then studied biology at the University of Tartu . After his bachelor's degree (1998), he completed a master's degree in semiotics and cultural studies at the same university, which he completed in 2000 with a thesis on the semiotics of biological mimicry phenomena. This was followed by doctoral studies and 2005. Maran was the dissertation kommunikatsioonisemiootiline mimicry kui fenomen ( 'mimicry as kommunikationssemiotisches problem') to Dr. phil. PhD.

plant

In addition to his scientific work as a semiotic, Maran began to publish poetry in the mid-1990s. He initially did this as part of the Tartu group "Erakkond", which included Mehis Heinsaar , Kalju Kruusa , Aare Pilv and Berk Vaher , among others . He published his first own volume of poetry in 2001.

From the beginning, the criticism pointed to a special closeness to nature in Maran and spoke of "ecological" poetry. Later, a certain magic was attested to his poems, "which is as primitive as it is topical", and the author himself admitted in an interview that the forest plays a central role for him.
