Andres Ehin. In memoriam

12/13/2011

Andres Ehini luulet hakkasin lugema juba möödunud sajandi kuuekümnendatel, veel enne kui tutvusin Alliksaare loominguga, nii et tema koos Paul-Eerik Rummoga olid need, kes sillutasid mulle teed Eesti kõigi aegade suurima luuletajakuju juurde. Kuid Ehin on rohkem kui "sissejuhatus Alliksaarele". Ehinit iseloomustab puhtehinlik muigav tõsidus või hoopis surmtõsine muie, mis oli suunatud korraga nii Maarjamaale kui läände ja itta. Ja veel siiras, peaaegu lapsik uudishimu ning kaasaelamisvõime ükskõik kui kaugele ning ükskõik kui väikestele rahvastele ja kultuuridele. Ja kõik see kerge irooniaga, mis võib-olla hoopiski varjas surmtõsidust. Me ei olnud tuttavad, kuid olen paaril korral juhtunud Ehinit kuulama. Tundus, et ta proosa või õigemini, mis proosa see on, improviseeritud ettekanne, on luule jätk, samal ajal kui tema luule on rõhutatult proosaline. Ma ei mäleta, millest ta rääkis. Või õigemini, mäletan, aga ei mäleta ka, kuna see polnud nii oluline. Oluline oli see soe tunne, mis tema jutust mulle jäi. Millegipärast on surnute poole kombeks pöörduda sinavormis, aga mulle selline postuumne "Brüderschaft trinken" ei istu: aitäh Teile, Andres.

tujukas aprillikuu vahupintsel sinisel taevalael
ja katkine regi mudamustal rohtukasvamata maal
taavet seisab tillukesel künkal keset põllulagedat
ja vilistab kohale koljati

Greetings,
I was very saddened to hear the news of Andres's passing last night when I was speaking with some friends.. My condolences go out to all of his friends and family..... I had the great pleasure of meeting with Andres only one time in November of 2011.... I was sitting at a table for 4 at the Cafe Boheme in Kopli and he came up and asked me if he could join me which I ofcourse conferred with, "please...." I am an American and do not speak Estonian but we somewhat awkwardly struck up a conversation about what we do and have done in our lives....... He also informed me that he had just returned from his brother's funeral..... I lost my brother earlier this year so I could relate to his loss..... We had a great conversation as I am an artist, musician and writer and when I asked him who his favorite writer was he told me "Fedirico Garcia Lorca," one of my all time favorites.... we went on to discuss his writings and discussed much about poetry and he told me some about his life and his family..... One of the nicest people that I had met...... we exchanged information and he told me to call him... I ofcourse thought that I had more time..... everyone does.... and as I was putting my coat on and preparing to leave he recited by memory a poem by Lorca in Spanish....... what a great guy....
thee best..... my heart goes out to his friends and family

Hi Steven,
Thank you for your reply. It is very interesting that Ehin's favourite was Lorca (by the way, one of my favourites too), since his own poetry is closer to Guillaume Apollinaire's. While for Lorca the technical aspect of poetry seems totally irrelevant: joy and pain seem to be directly moulded into words, in Ehin's poems I have always felt an element of game or play (I am not sure which English word is more suitable here). But now I will probably have to reexamine his poetry "through Lorca's prism".

Tere, Mihhail:

oleme praegu toimetamas Andresele pühendatud kogumikku (põhineb peamiselt 23.-24. aprillil 2010 peetud konverentsil "Täiskui: Andres Ehin 2010"), kus akadeemiliste artiklite osa ette (u tosin autorit) tuleb ka "vabaesseede"/meenutuste jmt jagu (Jaan Kaplinski, Hellar Grabbi, Peeter Tulviste, Marju Lauristin, Jüri Arrak, Ly ja Kristiina Ehin, Erkki Luuk, Mathura, Patrick Cotter ja arvatavasti veel mõni).
Jaan Malin koostab (valik)bibliograafia.
Võib-olla ka mõnede esseede taastrükid Andreselt eraldi peatükina.

Praegu kirjutan ise artiklit Interlitterariale Eesti sürrealismist, Laabanist-Ehinist, ja kammin netist vahel märksõnu: niisiis sattusin hetk tagasi ka Sinu blogi peale.

Seepärast mõistetav küsimus: kas Sa ei soovi oma meeleolu väiksemaks või suuremaks vinjetiks arendada ja kogumiku kaasautoriks tulla? Või miks mitte ka viidetega artiklite juurde?
Kirjutis võiks saabuda veebruari jooksul.

Lund ja päikest!

Arne

Hea Arne,
Praegu tundub, et ei ole selleks aega, kuid üldiselt soovitaksin suhelda minuga mitte läbi blogi, kuhu ma kirjutan harva, aga loen veel harvem.
Parimat
Mihhail
