Julius Keleras was born in Vilnius, Lithuania, where he attended schools
until his graduation from Vilnius University in 1987. While in school Keleras
took extended lessons to develop his singing voice, and for a few years worked
as an editor of publications at the Lithuanian Film Studio. In 1989 Keleras emigrated
with his family to the United States, making him one of the first post-soviet period
Lithuanian émigrés. In the United States Keleras lectured on Lithuanian literature
at Illinois State University, and is currently engaged as the editor of a Lithuanian
language weekly in New York. Keleras is the author of three books of poems.
