Let's make this birthday one to remember.

93 years old (Born on May 30, 1931)

Happy Birthday, Vizma Belsevica! May your day be brighter than "The Sea is Burning" and filled with fewer misfortunes at home—though we must admit, you do handle life's little dramas beautifully. Your poetry has aged better than fine wine; those Annual Rings just keep getting richer!

Here's to celebrating another year of literary triumphs and translations that charm readers across generations. Whether it's mending a Broken Heart on the Board of Honour or navigating through life's humorous mishaps, you've always turned words into timeless magic.

Cheers to more laughter-filled adventures ahead—and may your pen never run dry!
