A Palmer’s Chronicle
The Vilnius Review has decided to begin publishing short, witty essays about Lithuania and Lithuanians written by poet, translator and prose writer Kerry Shawn Keys. He's been living in Vilnius for nineteen years and knows the city and Lithuanians inside out. So, here, each month you will find "A Palmer's Chronicle".
I hope you'll enjoy it.

- A Palmer’s Chronicle
By Kerry Shawn Keys
This lyrical essay is dedicated to the artists killed in a fire on March 11, 2007, to the memory of the poet, translator and scriptwriter Mantas Gimžauskas (Šamanas) (1976-2007), and the musician, singer and photographer Remigijus Audiejaitis (Tanaka) (1972-2007). It may seem that everything happened a long time ago, but these deaths are etched into the lives of the generation born in the 1970s – like a dash, a period, a flame, with which youth ends.
