Diana Glemžaitė

Diana Glemžaitė was a Lithuanian partisan and poet, born in 1923, whose work emerged in the context of World War II and Soviet occupation. Although she never published a formal collection during her lifetime, her poetry, characterized by deep emotional resonance and themes of struggle and resilience, circulated among her contemporaries. Glemžaitė was killed at the young age of 23, yet her posthumously published collection "Mes mokėsim numirti" (We Will Learn to Die) in 1994 showcased her talent and has drawn attention to her significant yet often overlooked contribution to Lithuanian literature, especially in the context of resistance poetry.
