RÅ«ta Mežavilka's poetry collection āFurtherā is published
The collection of poems āFurtherā summarizes the poems written between 2010 and 2021. In the collection, the author deviates from her previous poetry books āEveryday Livesā (2005) and āDz.ā (2010) urban everyday moods and focus on eternal themes - the passage of time, the transformation of human life and the observation of natural events.
Editor Aivars Eipurs says: āRÅ«ta Mežavilka's fourth collection of poetry āFurtherā will go to readers after a long break of less than 12 years. Lovers of poetry lacked the intonation of this poet and the depiction similar to the black-and-white photographs, which is reserved in its observation, but so precise in itself. This niche was recently filled by the renaissance of Monta Kroma. Now it's RÅ«ta Mežavilka's turn again.ā

Ronalds Briedis's poetry collection āZero-sumā is published in Neputns
āIn this collection, Ronalds Briedis throws the closing knot for one stage of his work, combining the echoes of his previous poetry collection with new motifs in a balanced and balanced arrangement. But the question of the ontological nature of laughter and the ability to laugh still resides in the center. Ronalds Briedis seems to have not read so much yet - the subtle polarity of the biographical cycle and the equally exquisite mastery of Latvian poetry in such a rare strict form - the crown of sonnets - are placed in the opposite poles of the collection. You will need to read this book slowly and repeatedly. Like - sometimes - your lived life. It helps to discourage,ā says editor MÄris SalÄjs.

Neputns publishes a book about photographer Eižens Finks
The book āEižens Finks. Photographer legendā has been published!
It shows the pictures available and kindly provided by Latvian museums and private collectors, which tell about both Fink's own family and the very diverse audience that has visited Fink's photo salon. It is a binding mirror of the very different strata and types of society of its time. We also meet well-known figures in society - musicians, singers, fellow photographers, public figures, military personnel - knights of the LÄÄplÄsis War Order, as well as the poet Mirdza Ķempe, the Latvian radio announcer at the time, the poet Igor SeverjaÅin who at that time lived in Estonia and yet a teenager composer TÄlivaldis ĶeniÅÅ”.

Neputns publishes a book about the painter OtÄ«lija LeÅ”Äinska
The author of the book, Silvija Freinberga, says: āI would like to offer for publication a semi-documentary narrative about one of the first Latvian artists, currently little known - OtÄ«lija LeÅ”Äinskas, who once participated in the 1905 revolution and was one of the pioneers of modernist art in Latvian painting. The course of OtÄ«lija LeÅ”Äinskas' life is part of the rather difficult years of Latvian public life (1884ā1923), which is also reflected in the text, and it is accompanied by tragic lifelong love (1905 fighter Kristaps SalniÅÅ”) and unexplained death in the Finnish river. There are also other personalities of his time, letters and memories of his contemporaries.ā
