In this year’s literary and cultural almanac *Baltija*, Associate Professor Marijus Šidlauskas, Ph.D., shares his insights on the poetic worlds of Gintaras and Dovydas Grajauskas; the almanac also features choreographer Agnija Šeiko’s *Japan*, the work of independent animator Ruah Edelstein, the paintings of artist Evelina Simanavičiūtė, and Rimantas Šileika’s letters to Elena Karnauskaitė, while Kristupas Neniškis makes his debut with a collection of poems. An article about the publisher and journalist Johan Ferdinand Kelkis (1801–1877) will highlight notable figures from Lithuania Minor.
