Anna Belkovska’s debut poetry collection “Veranda” contains the author’s poems written between 2015 and 2021. Anna Auziņa, the book’s editor and poet, writes: “In Anna Belkovska’s poetry, body and intimacy are permeated by wit and erudition; Along with contemporary ideas and images of world culture, Belkovska does not shy away from Latvia’s geography and family history. Clear and accurate text in a variety of formats; a strong, courageous and warm voice of the poet. ”

Anna Belkovska is a playwright and poet, a prose writer whose works have been published so far in the online magazines “Satori” and “Punctum”, as well as in the anthology of young poets “How to overcome the itch in the skull?” (2018, “Walter Fork”). The design of the book was created by the artist Anna Priede.

On the other hand, Rwin’s book “Frog Archipelago”, which describes what happened when Rwin studied philology 10 years ago and tried to find out in his blog whether he could write a text that caused a physiological reaction in the reader, received a profound rebound in the crime.

“This is the answer. YES. This thing is not about the fact that the text I wrote is good literature. It is a call to touch and possibly reformulate the internal definitions of freedom of expression, as well as to look into the bureaucratic shapes of people living in the real world. The chronological vice of the case and the taste of no appeal define it as a constant artistic phenomenon with its own language and face, ”says the writer himself.

Rvīns Varde ir (1985) is a publicist, bird photographer, coder of the magazine “Rīgas laiks” and author of the column “Frog List”. Published in Benji Knewman, Domu zīme, Satori and elsewhere. In 2020, he won the Latvian Literature of the Year Award in the category “The Brightest Debut in Literature” for his collection of documentary short story sketches. He is the host of the show “Zaļgalvis”.

Both books have been published with the support of the State Culture Capital Fund.
