Urmet started publishing articles, reviews and essays in 1999. In 2000, he made his debut as a poet with the collection "Maaaraamat".[1] 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.
Wimberg's collections of poetry ("Maaaraamat" and "Kärppsed") depict autobiographic thoughts. In his works, Wimberg uses (his own) innovative orthography of Estonian language.
