Died 19 06 1999.
He attended the Vadokliai Primary School, the neighbouring Ramygala and Raguva Pro-Gymnasiums, and the Panevėžys Gymnasium, where he began to write poems. In 1927, he entered the Kaunas Theological Seminary under the direction of Maironis. When A. Jakštas attacked Catholic writers in the press for working for the "Third Front", he dared to publish an article in the daily newspaper "Rytas" entitled "Are we working for the benefit of the "Third Front"?". Perhaps this is why, after Maironis's death, the new seminary authorities did not allow him to finish his studies. After leaving the seminary, he began to study at the university, worked in the editorial office of "Naujoji Romuva" and edited "Ateitį". After graduating from the university, he attended military school, edited "Kariūnas" and worked in the editorial office of "Karis". During the war, he was a teacher at the Kaunas School of Fine Arts and Crafts, teaching Lithuanian language, literature and history. After the end of the war, he did not publish in the Soviet press, and continued to teach at the Kaunas School of Crafts, and from 1951 - at the Kaunas Agricultural Technical School. At the same time, he studied Lithuanian language and literature part-time at the Vilnius Pedagogical Institute, graduating from it in 1956.At the Kaunas Agricultural Technical School, with the help of actors P. Likša and A. Radzevičius, he staged Žemaitė's "Marča", "Petras Kurmelis", K. Binkio's "Atžalyna", K. Sajos' "Silva Studentauja".
