About Ulla Contra

Contra (born Margus Konnula in 1974) is one of Estonias most prolific contemporary poets. Since his debut in 1995 he has published at least one poetry collection each year. Contras writing is strongly rooted in Estonias contemporary folk-singing tradition with gleeful and witty texts that blend dense playful rhymes with topical issues. Contras poetry stands out for the frequent use of his native Võru dialect and he is a popular guest on television at public events and in schools. Contra is a laureate of the Oskar Luts Prize for Humor and the Bernard Kangro Award for Literature; in 2015 he was awarded the Estonian Cultural Endowments Award for Children and Youth Literature. Ulla Saar (1975) is an illustrator product designer graphic artist and interior designer. She graduated from the Estonian Academy of Arts in product design and currently works as a designer. Her first illustrated book Lift immediately received widespread recognition and was listed in the 2014 White Ravens catalogue by the International Youth Library. Since then Ulla has illustrated nearly 20 books every one of which has gained international attention. Ulla practices a contemporary design-like approach to book illustration: her spirited and playful art is often more a part of the books overall design than free-standing pictures. Charlotte Geater is a poet and editor based in London UK. She has a PhD in Creative Writing from the University of Kent. She edits poetry and fiction for the Emma Press. Her own writing has been published by Queen Mobs Teahouse Galley Beggar Strange Horizons and The Best British Poetry 2013. Kätlin Kaldmaa is an Estonian poet writer translator and literary critic.
