Brings the work of contemporary poets from Europe and beyond to English language readership. This title intends to keep a finger on the international contemporary poetry. It introduces six poets who were born in the 1960s, when Lithuania was part of the Soviet Union, but who started publishing after the country achieved independence in 1991.
“Six Lithuanian Poets” is the fourth volume in the series of bilingual anthologies which brings the work of contemporary poets from Europe and beyond to a wider English language readership, a series which aims to keep a finger on the here-and-now of international contemporary poetry. This anthology introduces six poets who were born in the 1960s, when Lithuania was part of the Soviet Union, but who mostly started publishing after the country achieved independence in 1991. Unlike their predecessors, the poets of this generation are not concerned with political themes but rather with issues of aesthetics and existential quests. While each writes in a unique way, they all share a strong sense of language and an ironic, post-modern perspective that is more in line with contemporary European literary trends than domestic poetic traditions.
