Is there another way?

Stephen,

I suggest you share your advice with the quoted author, Astrida B. Stahnke.  Here is Stahnke’s quote, once more, in context:

http://www.lituanus.org/2001/01_3_01.htm
Astrida B. Stahnke on Vizma Belsevica

“The next step is to find a publisher, thus hopefully making her works accessible to a wider international audience.

Belševica’s is a voice that needs to be heard in English, even in translation [italics mine]. It is a voice that opens the long-closed Soviet-occupied world, be it Latvia or any other Eastern European country that shed its shackles with such force that, it seemed, the earth trembled and the mighty fell….”

Astrida B. Stahnke is also the author of Aspazija: Her Life and Her Drama.

Any more bids for Aina Zemdega’s MARUTA? You will never see this book again in print!!

As you know, all donations for books support Camp Saulaine. All books are donated to sell and all work is done by volunteers, even in -33 Canadian winters! ( now I understand the point of those odd finger-tipless mittens! )
