Eugenijus Alsianka Orden de los libros

First English translation of one of Lithuania's leading poets. Paradoxical, absurd, witty and observant, his poetry reflects Lithuania's post-Soviet society.

Part of the Peter Owen World Series: Baltics. 'Darkness and Company' is an unflinching and morally complex historical novel about a Lithuanian photographer who agrees to record the murderous actions of the occupying SS and local militia in return for the safe-keeping of his Jewish lover.

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.
