Moscow: Raduga Publishers, 1987, 260pp., . English and Russian on facing pages. - 17-page introduction by Eduardas Miezelaitis (translated into English): Lithuania's Nightingale. Poems translated by Dorian Rottenberg and others. - The very first book by Salomeja Neris (1904- 1945), Early in the Morning, published in 1927, won her the fame of the finest lyric poet in Lith uania. Her poems were learned by heart. Yet, although producing some of the best Lithuanian love-poetry, Salomeja Neris did not stay aloof from the mainstream of life. History itself, she felt, recruited her into the ranks of fighters, and she responded in her verse to all major events in the life of her people. At crucial moments this lyric poet acquired the thunder- like voice of a tribune. Following the evolution of her muse, one reads the life-story of a human being - from the first happy smile of childhood to the tears of a despairing mother caught up in the tempest of war. The lyric verse of Salomeja Neris is a unique blend of austere drama and loving tenderness, high poetic culture and loyalty to popular tradition. 9785050011367 ISBN 5050011361.
