Tomas Venclova

Lithuania’s Tomas Venclova is one of Europe’s greatest living poets. His work speaks with a moral depth exceptional in contemporary poetry. Venclova’s poetry addressed the desolate landscape of the aftermath of totalitarianism, as well as the ethical contants that allow for hope and perseverance. The Junction brings together entirely new translations of his most recent work as well as a selection of poems from his 1997 volume Winter Dialogue. “Every major poet has an idiosyncratic inner landscape against which his voice sounds in his mind…his landscape is that of the Baltic in winter…" Joseph Brodsky　(quoted from "The Junction")
