His first book appeared in 1928, and he threw himself into the Riga literary scene by creating a magazine devoted to younger writers. He made a living by teaching and through magazine journalism. This is the first book devoted to his work in Britain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41049905823841,"sku":"9781848616745","price":13.87,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_26077733.jpg?v=1753923313","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781848616745-selected-poems","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
