Although there are at least three concepts of when and how the real 'revolution' in Estonian poetry took place -at the beginning of the 1960s through the earliest works of the 'Cassette Generation' (e.g Veidemann 1993); in second half of the 1960s through the more radical poetry of the 'Cassette Generation' and the poetry of the new debutants (Velsker 1999), or in the 1970s through the works of Jüri Üdi (Krull 1998) -and although the first breakthrough at the beginning of the 1960s can rather be viewed as the restoration of the tradition of the 1930s (Velsker 1999(Velsker : 1213, those aesthetic processes formed the grounds for various phenomena affecting the poetics of literary works up until the present time.
