	Tomas Venclova - Jonas Zdanys
		Tomas Venclova was born in the Lithuanian coastal town of Klaipėda, a major port on the Baltic Sea, on September 11, 1937.
		His father was Antanas Venclova, a prominent member of the left-wing Third Front literary movement of the 1930's and a figure in the Soviet-led Communist takeover of Lithuania in June 1940, and hence Tomas was born into a family of power and privilege.
		Venclova's statement to that Committee is reproduced in Lituanus 23:1 (1977), pp.

		Venclova is not afraid of exposing the darker sides of his own country's national behavior, yet he draws strength from the deep cultural awareness of its cultural and historical heritage, thus maintaining a perfect equilibrium in presenting the complete, unadorned picture.
		Venclova does not give ready-made formulas for the solution of this most intricate problem, yet in his programmatic essay "On the Choice between Democracy and Nationalism" he perspicuously states: "If the choice is between the nation and truth, between the nation and freedom, my decision is perfectly clear.
		Venclova's observations on this unsinkable trio are a poignant comment on social adaptability and conformism, which ultimately lead to artistic demise.

		Venclova, who teaches at Yale University, is most widely recognized in the U.S. as a scholar and a critic, but in Eastern Europe he is known best as a poet of fierce moral tenacity.
		Born in Lithuania in 1937, Venclova's worldview was significantly shaped by the failure of the 1956 Hungarian uprising against the Soviet Union.
		As if by the sheer weight of concision and form, the lines give the impression of constant collapse, as if the words had burned and all that remained on the page were their ashes.
