Swedish Estonians are commemorating the 140th anniversary of the birth of the poetess Marie Under with a traveling exhibition that will visit Swedish libraries and institutions prior to arriving in Estonia. The new exhibition at the Estonian House in Stockholm focuses on the poet's exile years in Sweden, where she lived for nearly 30 years.
Marie Under is recognized as one of Estonia's greatest poets and was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 12 separate years.
