Gunars Saliņš (1924-2010) was a prominent modernist poet in the Latvian lyric tradition, known for his transformative and metaphysical imagery. He was a key figure in the 'Hell's Kitchen artists' community in the U.S. during the 1950s and 60s. Influenced by notable poets like Aleksandrs Čaks and Rainer Maria Rilke, Saliņš' work often incorporated personal experiences, myths, and ancient folklore. After WWII, his poetry became prominent among the Latvian diaspora, and later gained renewed recognition in post-Soviet Latvia, culminating in the receipt of the Order of the Three Stars in 2000.
