Published Arta Ostupa Fifth Poetry Collection Truth / Day

Collection Editor Raimonds Kirķis: « Artis Ostups has come to his fifth collection of poems to his unprecedented aspect: peaceful and conciliatory relationships with the world. He has felt his poetic style in the dark – making images and metaphors. The fires or time are freezing in the ice, which is also of interest to the human being. Truthit is found that Ostup has rarely developed metonymy and the use of sinekdohs in Latvian literature, alienating the lyrical « EU » from his subjectivity and making it part of the surroundings and its everyday materiality. It is possible to point out that this is where the truth was sheltered. ”
