Aleksandras Dicpetris
Edit ProfileCareer
He first published poetry in 1923 and continued publishing in college. The melodic quatrain collection Dalia Necklace published in 1930 alternates between symbolist and neoromantic styles. In 1931 his poem entitled Lithuania Our Motherland drew notable attention.
He became a headmaster of a college preparatory school.
When the Soviet Union invaded Lithuania in 1939 his high standing in the community meant he had to leave the country in order to secure the safety of his family. He chose to move to Germany and established another school for Lithuanian expatriates in Germany where he again became the headmaster.
He died in 1968 and is buried in London.
