Neputns publishes Edvards Kuks’ debut collection of poems

Vadi (Wires) is Edvards Kuks’ first collection of poems.

Editor of the collection Arvis Viguls: "I have been following the creation of Edvards Kuks’ debut collection since the first versions of the manuscript. In this process, Kuks as a poet has continued to seek and grow, and in the collection Vadi he debuts as a slightly different, certainly more mature poet and man than in his first publications. However, his youthful love for language, which has created vivid means of expression and peculiar solutions of form that seem to come to the mind of no one but Edvards, has not disappeared."

Edvards Kuks (1997) is a poet, translator, author of children's lyrics (Tutas lietas (Tuta’s Things), Emī un Rū, UkuLele) as well as a reviewer of poetry and hip-hop. Since 2015, he has published in "Satori", "Punctum", "Domuzīme", etc. Kuks’ poetry is included in the young poets’ anthology Kā pārvarēt niezi galvaskausā (How to Overcome Itchy Skull?; Valters Dakša, 2018) and in the selection of experimental poetry Ja aizmirsti savu vārdu (If you Forget your Name; Paladium Kirjaat, 2020). He is currently studying for a Master's degree in Science and Technology at Maastricht University.

“Neputna” samta sērijā izdots Ērika Lindegrēna dzejoļu krājums “vīrs bez ceļa”

Erik Lindegren's "mannen utan väg" published in he Neputns bilingual velvet poetry series

The Swedish poet Erik Lindegren’s (1910–1968) cycle of forty “broken sonnets”, The Man Without a Way, is translated into Latvian by Zigurds Elsbergs.

The most important and unique collection of Swedish poetry of its time, The Man Without a Way was created between November 1939 and summer of 1940. Although Lindegren had already published his debut collection, it was with The Man Without a Way that he found his surrealistic way of writing. The author himself dubbed these poems "broken sonnets".

Izdots Ievas Rupenheites dzejoļu krājums “palaidiet sievieti”

Ieva Rupenheite’s fourth collection of poems "Let the Woman"

palaidiet sievieti (Let the Woman) is Ieva Rupenheite’s fourth collection of poems.

“Time has passed since the collection nepāriet, and there is a need for a new book, in which the author’s lyrical heroine may have lost the last remnants of lyricism,” the author says, adding that “the title does not claim a socially critical message, and it has a rather distant connection with the mood of feminism. It is a line from a poem.”

"Ieva Rupenheite’s poems reveal a purposeful work with language that allows you to see the world in an unusual light. In her fourth collection of poetry, even the most mundane situation can serve as a starting point for a language experience that tends to shoot the reader’s associations in unexpected directions." (Kārlis Vērdiņš, editor)

Klajā nāk Kristīnes Želves romāns par Grosvaldu ģimeni

Novel about the Grosvalds family

Kristīne Želve’s novel Grosvaldi (The Grosvalds) focuses on an important family in the history of Latvia and their life for almost a hundred years.

The Grosvalds are: lawyer Frīdrihs Grosvalds, the long-term head of the Riga Latvian Society, his wife Marija Grosvalde and their five children – Mērija Grīnberga, a Latvian folk costume populariser and ethnographer, diplomat Oļģerds Grosvalds, painter Jāzeps Grosvalds, foreign service employees Līna Grosvalde and Margarēta Grosvalde, and the grandchildren – museum specialist Mērija Grīnberga Jr. and mathematician Emanuels Grīnbergs.

The novel intertwines different times, places and languages, historical vocabulary with contemporary language, the charming lightness of Belle Époque with the harshness of the birth and death of the Latvian state, exuberant playfulness with painful seriousness, authentic letters and diaries of the Grosvalds with the author’s imagination, creating the world of the Grosvalds family and the era they were destined to live in.
