I am Lina Buividavi\u010di\u016bt\u0117, born on May 14, 1986 \u2013 two weeks after my due date, with hip dysplasia, big blue eyes, and a tearful nature. I grew and grew and grew into a 31-year old woman who still quarrels with the young little Lina and wrestles with her complexes and frustrations. I studied and studied and finished two dentistry courses, a baccalaureate in Lithuanian philology and advertising, a masters in Lithuanian literature, and a doctorate in the field of Lithuanian literature. I am a poet, literary scholar, critic and tutor of Lithuanian language and biology. My poems have been published in numerous Lithuanian cultural publications, I participate in readings, presentations and contests. And this is my debut in the DPF Anthology. These are the general facts \u2013 but in truth, in my work, just as within me, there is mostly desire, death, desolation, pain, and anger. I rage, I provoke, I question, I crave. Without losing my breath, without rest. At this time, the thing that best represents me is hunger \u2013 for experiences, people, work, challenges, my own life. I am hungry, I am very hungry and I share this hunger with the reader.<\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
