Jana Egle
Jana Egle (born in 1963) was born and has spent her entire life in what is probably the harshest part of Latvia – Lower Courland. She holds a master’s degree in preschool pedagogy and worked in a kindergarten for more than 30 years. Since the 1990s, she has been writing poetry, but she only began writing prose after the age of fifty. In the Light (Gaismā) is her first book of prose, for which she received the Latvian Literature Award in 2017.
