Üles- ja allavoolu : mõtisklusi värsis ja proosas, enamik kirja pandud 20. sajandi viimasel kümnendil ja 21. sajandi algul

The collection includes the author's poetry and prose. It has reflections on existential questions, interviews, reviews of plays and books read, and essays.

To innovate theatre is to innovate the mind, to know one's own, the heritage of generations. In his in-depth collection of poetry and essays, the director and thinker Jaan Tooming discusses the themes of overcoming the everyday and coming of age in a spiritual sense. He discusses in a biblical way, as if he knew knowledge. In the author's arms, we wander along the paths of great religious leaders and the sources of doctrinal texts, hear stories of Sami witches and medieval monks, of Nordic folklore and of the Estonian people's own literary heritage. We will also hear words of wisdom for the young actor, and theatrical grit and criticism. Tooming enchants. His mysterious wordplay sends you plunging. A moment, stolen forever to read this book, becomes a moment full of wisdom.
