| Description: | Select Guide Rating 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. The poets whose work is included in this anthology were born in the 1960s, when Lithuania was part of the Soviet Union, and 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 follows his or her unique path, they all share a penchant for experimentation and an ironic, post-modern perspective, following European literary trends rather than domestic poetic traditions. |
