Suits so enjoyed this bustling university town and its intellectual centers that he became determined to become a part of its literary society. By the time he was 16 years old, the newspaper Uus Aeg (New Time) published his first critical essay. In 1899, the newspaper published his first poem, Water Lilies.

1900

Suits' poetry combines extremely personal and very general elements. Frequently, it addresses Estonian history and the fate of humanity.

Suits uses symbolism, metaphors and allusions frequently.

Between 1917 and 1919, Suits was politically active in the Estonian Socialist Revolutionary Party.
