One of the most prominent voices in 21st-century Latvian literature, Viguls' three collections to date have garnered several national prizes, and in 2017 he was named as one of Literature Across Frontiers' \"Ten New Voices\", a scheme intended to find \"the most interesting writers working in Europe today\". \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHis work has been translated into more than twenty languages, with full collections published in Spanish, German, Serbian, and now - thanks to the thoughtful translation work of Jayde Will - English.
