Weekend Music. Golden Sidewalk

Program:

Music by Anna Veismane and poetry by Monta Kroma

Monta Kroma (1919–1994) is one of the most vibrant and innovative representatives of Latvian modernism. Events and publications dedicated to the centenary of the poet, including the anthology 'Sidewalk' compiled by literary scholar Agija Ābiķe-Kondrāte, have recently revitalized the role of this extraordinary poet in the lyrical space of the 1970s and in the entire history of Latvian poetry. Kroma's works resonate with dynamic urban motifs, intimate emotional revelations, sensuality, and graphic expression. These poems, often unaccepted or misunderstood in the literary environment of the time, have withstood the test of time and now allow us to speak of Kroma as an innovative and fascinating poet whose legacy is relevant in the context of both modernist and urban poetry, as well as feminist writing.
