In a recent discussion, Estonian author Berit Kaschan, nominated for a Kulturkapital literature award in the poetry category for her collection 'April', reflects on the sometimes discordant nature of dreams and expectations set in youth. She emphasizes the importance of having conversations with oneself to reconcile these aspirations with the reality of one's current identity. Kaschan hopes that her work will engage readers in a similar dialogue as she has experienced with other books.

Kaschan shares insights on her writing process for 'April', revealing moments where she felt more courageous than she had anticipated. She describes entering uncharted territory in her creative journey, acknowledging that some of her writing took on a spontaneous and raw form, serving as markers of significant moments rather than complete narratives. This unrefined writing is interspersed throughout 'April', where some texts initially appeared unclear to her but revealed deeper meanings over time.

Ultimately, Kaschan's aspiration is for 'April' to foster a genuine dialogue between herself and her readers. She expresses a desire for readers to connect deeply with the themes presented in her book, drawing parallels to her own experiences with literature that has profoundly impacted her. The conversation around dreams and personal evolution resonates throughout her work, reflecting both a personal and universal exploration of identity and expectation.
