Jaan Kaplinski was a world-class thinker and writer, arguably the most cosmopolitan of Estonian writers while deeply rooted in Estonian thought and language. Diverging from the standard Estonian literary language in his last decade, the poet consciously chose to publish his poetry in Võro and Russian instead of standard Estonian.
