Diedulis is a Lithuanian newsletter of reflective, literary essays that move between small everyday scenes, such as a bench by a Kaunas road or a market on a Sunday, and wider questions about loneliness, belonging and shared life. It also includes pointed political commentary, for example on a German state election, written in a personal and meditative voice.
A personal poetry site where each issue pairs a single prose poem with an AI-generated image. Poems are often previously published in literary journals and blend surreal, political and near-future imagery.
