Elena Baliutytė. The Citizen of the Empire of Poetry
Vladas Braziūnas’ collection of verse Vakar yra rytoj (Yesterday is Tomorrow) consists of new works, and verse selected from his eight books: from three collections from Soviet times (Slenka žaibas, 1983, Voro stulpas, 1986 and Suopiai gręžia dangų, 1988) and from Užkalbėti juodą sraują (1989), Alkanoji linksniuotė (1993), Užkalinėti (1998), Ant balto dugno (1999) and lėmeilėmeilėmeilė (2002). Though Braziūnas’ life (he was born in 1952) exteds across several “time zones”, which conditionally could be called Moscow, Lithuanian and European time, there are not many signs of historical time in his work, because he usually speaks about the past, unfinished poetic time, which goes back to mythology, to the archetypal beginnings of “Great Time”. Attention to ethnicity, the tradition of folk art, is one of the most individual components of this poetry, which in the present “European time” has acquired new colours and meanings.
