My first steps towards literature were undertaken in my early childhood, as the teacher of literature noticed my tendency to invoke unusual literary images and phrases; I discovered the richness of Lithuanian literature once I started reading and writing. I was 10 when my first book was published. Prose was then my literary passion. Now I am known as a poet mostly in my hometown of Utena, the local literary community which I represent with all my heart and soul in all the poetic festivals and events I have the opportunity to take place in. Summer Literary Seminars ’14 encouraged me to undertake a new direction of literary discoveries as I started translating and even writing poems in English, which is for me, as an English philologist, an endless journey of metaphoric inventions, surprises and interpretations. Last year I published my first collection of poems, which serves as a will-o’-the-wisp for me in the context of the Lithuanian literary world, a part of which I already have the pleasure to call myself.
