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.","brand":"Shearsman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52085643968855,"sku":"9781848616745","price":14.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781848616745.jpg?v=1762210326","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/selected-poems-9781848616745","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
