The editor of the book Aivars Eipurs says: “Rūta Mežavilka’s fourth collection of poetry Next will go to readers after a long break of less than twelve years. Lovers of poetry lacked the intonation of this poet and the depiction similar to the black-and-white photographs, which is reserved in its observation, but so precise in itself. This niche was recently filled by the Renaissance of Monta Chroma. Now it’s Rūta Mežavilka’s turn again. “
Rūta Mežavilka (1971) – writer, poet and artist, three collections of poems – Letters and Saltwater (1999), Everyday life (2005), Dz. (2010) – and a novel Born in Latvia (2012) author. Rūta Mežavilka’s poetry is characterized by an accurate observation of everyday life and a depiction of the urban environment, a portrait of a modern woman.
