POETRY & SPOKEN WORD
Aleksandra Line has been writing poetry in 3 languages – English, Latvian and Russian – since her childhood. Vivid images and vast range of emotions described in her poems and song lyrics help her depict the environment she's spending the most of her time in: exploring other realities, musicians, travels, listening: to the world, herself, the others, and, of course, music. Sometimes people around the poet recognise themselves in some of the texts: coincidences are mostly accidental. Except when they’re not.
Aleksandra's original poetry is a part of a spoken word & improvised jazz project “klausies”, with a debut album “17” nominated for the best recording of 2018 in jazz category of the annual Latvian music record award “Zelta Mikrofons” and all-analog recording “9” released in May of 2021 in the vinyl tape format by the Latvian independent jazz and improvised music record label “Jersika Records”.
She also writes lyrics for various composers – Andris Buiķis, Krists Saržants, Andris Dzenītis and Uģis Prauliņš, to name a few.
