Justinas Marcinkevičius

poet Lithuania

Justinas Marcinkevičius (1930–2011) was a prominent Lithuanian poet, playwright, translator, academic, and public figure. He is best known for his significant contributions to Lithuanian literature, including works such as the dramatic trilogy 'Mindaugas', 'Mažvydas', and 'Katedra'. Throughout his career, he published around 50 works encompassing poetry, children's literature, drama, essays, and journalistic pieces. Marcinkevičius played an active role in Lithuania's struggle for independence, participating in the Sąjūdis movement. Despite his accolades, including the Lithuanian National Culture and Art Prize in 2001, his legacy is complex, as some of his works from the Soviet era have sparked debate regarding their alignment with the regime. His memory is honored through various monuments and tributes, including a recent project in Druskininkai that celebrates his contributions.
