Talk:Marie Under

Some links to material for expansion
I don't currently have time for actually writing the article, so I'll just add some links to English sources in hope to return later. A couple of notes about possible content: 1) Under has been repeatedly nominated for Nobel Prize; 2) not all of her classic pieces are early, e.g. "Christmas Greetings 1941" about the wartime in Estonia is very well-known; 3) she's been the subject of several biographies, one of which became almost a bestseller some years ago; 4) several accounts of her letter exchange have been published (with artist Ants Laikmaa, writer Friedebert Tuglas etc); 5) American Estonian Ivar Ivask has written about her, and as Ivask was a long-time editor of World Literature Today I'd expect there would be something about Under in that fine magazine, too; 6) she belonged to two influential literary circles Siuru and Tarapita; 7) there is a stipend of her name, given by the Estonian Ministry of Culture for students of Estonian literature; 8) her name was also given to a rose variety; 9) there is a monument to her in front of Estonian National Library in Tallinn (a picture could be uploaded to English Wikipedia but not to Commons); 10) she translated a lot of poems, including Anna Akhmatova and Boris Pasternak from Russian; 11) as a writer in exile, her poems were forbidden for a long time in Soviet Union, although her death was mentioned in a 1980 cinema retrospective ; 12) in 1996, she was put on a stamp in Estonia. Now, the links:
 * Estonia’s most influential poet to be reburied
 * Marie Under, Estonian Literature Centre
 * A mission to translate Marie Under – Estonia’s most influential poet – into English Estonian World
 * Marie Under, Nobelprize.org Nomination Database (mentions 8 times between 1945-58; the years give a hint that it might have been a politically delicate issue as Estonia was occupied by U.S.S.R. then)
