Tu mieszka\u0142 Jonasz | Marius Burokas<\/h1>\n<\/div>

<\/div>

The volume contains poems from four volumes of his poetry\u00a0 (Ideogramos, B\u016bsenos, I\u0161mokau neb\u016bti, \u0160varaus buvimo) and new poems, previously published only in literary journals. The selection shows the development of the poet\u2019s style and presents themes he uses in his work.<\/p>\n

Burokas’s poetry is an “x-ray of being”-it charts the “states of acuity” of the lyrical speaker and the world, exposing cracks, gaps, and scars. The poems are “healing wounds,” a journey from non-being to “pure being,” a “purification of the pupils” The poet draws from the folklore of his homeland, Lithuania’s multicultural heritage and the Western tradition, especially the English language.<\/p>\n

The book offers two perspectives: it contains poems that the translator finds thematically and artistically interesting for Polish readers, and poems that the author himself finds valuable. This is Burokas\u2019 first publication in Polish.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The poems of the Lithuanian poet show seemingly banal moments, places and things in a new, extraordinary light. They encourage us to look at the world with a new eye, they say: look closely, have you ever thought about it in this way?<\/em><\/p>\n
