Lithuanian poet Eugenijus Ališanka recounts his journey from studying mathematics to writing poetry, influenced by Eastern religions and philosophy. Initially writing abstract, metaphysical poems, he later transitioned to sharing personal stories in his fourth poetry book, 'From Unwritten Stories.' Ališanka were inspired by authors like Rilke, Maritain, and Stot, and later translated Polish poets, finding a poetic style close to his own. The poet emphasizes the importance of starting to write and the profound realization of language's complexity and allure.
