Heureka received the Estonian Cultural Endowment Award for poetry in 2009; both Heureka and Tule mu koopasse, mateeria won the Tallinn University Literary Prize (in 2008 and 2009, respectively).

She has written five opera librettos, texts for cantatas and chamber songs. She has translated theory (Giorgio Agamben, Umberto Eco) and poetry by more than 100 poets (e.g. Jacopone da Todi, Giacomo Leopardi, Andrea Zanzotto, Valerio Magrelli, Philip Larkin, Bertolt Brecht, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Ernst Jandl). In 2003 she won the first prize in the Società Dante Alighieri competition for translations of Italian poetry. Her poems have been translated into English, German, Hungarian and Italian. | |
