“This year, on October 13, the 150th anniversary of the poet and writer Jānis Poruks was celebrated in Latvia. Poruka’s life and work were once highly controversial.
The description of the conference outlines: “A loner, a dandy, a bringer of the modern European spirit in Latvian culture, the first young romantic, an archetypal image of Latvian literature – pearl fisherman, biscuits, heartfelt people a pale boy – creator, psychiatric hospital patient – what Poruks we have today? What unexpected has been revealed by studying and re-evaluating Poruka’s life and work? Can Poruk also be called a German and Russian writer, what music meant to Poruk and what Poruk still means to music? “
