Sigitas Geda was born in 1943 in southwestern Lithuania. He is a poet and leading intellectual with more than twenty books, including literature for children, essays, reviews, and translations. He translated the book of Psalms, and most recently The Works of François Villon and Edgar Lee Master?s Spoon River Anthology. He has edited and compiled the complete selection of Rilke?s work in Lithuanian, and has done the same with Lithuanian poetry on the holocaust. He is perhaps the most important and respected writer in Lithuania today, with a lyrical voice and a post-modern aesthetic that probes historical and metaphysical themes and the natural world with incredible insight and energy. A Selected Poems has recently appeared in Germany and Sweden, and an edition will be forthcoming in English. Kerry Shawn Keys comes from the Pennsylvania. He lives in Vilnius, Lithuania where he taught translation theory and creative composition from 1998 to 2000 as a Fulbright lecturer at Vilnius University. Mr. Keys currently works freelance as a poet, translator, and cultural liaison. He has over 30 books to his credit, including translations from Portuguese and Lithuanian, and his own poems rooted in the Appalachia hill country, and in Brazil and India where he lived for considerable time. His work ranges from theatre-dance pieces to flamenco songs to the Tao Te Ching to lyrical and intense ontological concerns. He received the Robert H. Winner Memorial Award from the Poetry Society of America in 1992. Selected poems have appeared in Czech and Lithuanian.
