The poet Nerijus Cibulskas is an author of two poetry books: Erasables (2012) and Archeology (2016). His poetry is calm and thoughtful, yet full of internal tensions; it often conveys elements of landscape and images of our surroundings. His lyricism hews closely to the Scandinavian tradition. Archeology, according to the publisher, deals with “contemporary experiences, hidden beneath a painterly layer of images.” It has a quiet surface whose figurative language hides depth and emotion. Cibulskas is a master of metaphor and simile, subtly conveying internal experience and the relationship between humans and nature.
