Dainius Dirgėla is a member of the group “Strangers”, and the author of several poetry collections. His poetry is paradoxical and playful. He is a master of the pithy poetical anecdotes, having an observant eye and ear for everyday strangeness.
Dainius is one of a few truly talented Lithuanian haiku poets (many like to write haiku, but few succeed). The poet himself is also a photographer who feels that the photographic and poetic states of mind are proximate. He likes to fix things side by side: words and images.
Dainius has published several books of poetry: DANGEROUS GAMES (1995), OBSERVER NOTES (e-book, 2013), OBSERVER NOTES / RE:PLICAS (2016), THE BOOK OF ROLES (2017). He is member of World Haiku Association, creator of Haiga, Haiga WHA Master Artist and winner of several international haiku contests.
