urmet started publishing articles, reviews and essays in 1999. in 2000, he made his debut as a poet with the collection ""maaaraamat"". from 2001 to 2007 he worked as the editor of "arkaadia", a cultural addendum of "eesti päevaleht". wimberg's (urmet's) novel "lipamäe" (which was noted on 2002 estonian novel contest and awarded virumaa prize of literature in 2002) is a postmodernist story of a young man who moves from urban area to countryside after the death of his grandfather. the novel shows a blend of realism and phantasy: autobiographic reflections on the last decade of the soviet era in countryside alternate with magic present (e.g. one of the characters is the devil). the events take place in a real location – the village of kaaruka in järvamaa.
