Märt Treier

Märt Treier is a renowned Estonian journalist, radio host, and author whose work blends life wisdom, empathy, and a sharp social gaze. After decades on air, Treier has recently shifted his focus more toward writing, offering readers a distinctive literary voice that invites both reflection and emotional connection.

His latest book, “Ära. Laulud laokil inimesest” (“Don’t. Songs of a Scattered Human”, loosely translated), marks Treier’s first foray into fiction. Poetic in tone and introspective in content, the work explores the human condition in all its fragility and strength, carrying both bitterness and tenderness. In this book, Treier steps out of the observer’s role and allows his sensitivity to speak, unpacking the complexity and contradictions of life.

In earlier works like “Ennäe inimest!” (“Behold the Human!”) and “Hommikujutud varasele ärkajale” (“Morning Stories for the Early Riser”), the author focused more on essays and real-life reflections, yet each story reveals his deep interest in the human soul. Märt Treier is a writer who listens, observes, and writes in a way that resonates with many.
