From DAIVA PARULSKIENE, Cultural attaché, Lithuanian Embassy in the UK
I have only few facts for you, which are EXTREMELY SAD.
Arc has been to date the ONLY publisher in the UK, which has taken the interest in Lithuanian poetry which is one of the strongest in Europe.
Arc has been the ONLY publisher in the UK, which took a burden to go to Lithuania to find out more about literature of our country, to meet poets and establish ties.
Arc has been ONLY publisher in the UK, which published a strong selection "Six
Lithuanian Poets" with the 6 best Lithuanian poets of middle generation selected.
The modern classics of Lithuanian poetry - "Ballads of Kukutis" by Marcelijus Martinaitis are up for publication in May. It is the FIRST EVER book of the Lithuanian poet, living in Lithuania, published by any UK publisher
