Dainius Gintalas is a poet and a translator who is often referred to as “the new barbarian.” His poetry is elemental, brimming with explosive power and the dregs of darkness and twilight. It is influenced by the “damned poets” and other unconventional literature. He is one of those rare Lithuanian poets who does not shun erotic and open poetics, carnal physiology, and shocking and fetishist images. He takes photographs of outhouses, dog houses, and ladders.
