Veronika Strēlerte, one of the most distinguished Latvian 20th century poetesses, had a centennial anniversary in 2012. Margita Gūtmane’s book about the poetess unveils her personality as a very special phenomenon in Latvian culture. Written from a very private viewpoint, the book nevertheless contains abundant historical and yet unknown information about the life of the Latvian literature in exile.
