Aleksandrs Caks Commemorative plaque
Šeit dzivo Caks; Aleksandra Caka muzejs
Aleksandrs Caks (dzimis Aleksandrs Cadarainis; 1901. gada 27. oktobris – 1950. gada 8. februaris) bija latviešu dzejnieks un rakstnieks. Caks, iespejams, ir pirmais latviešu rakstnieks, kura darbi ir izteikti pilsetnieciski, salidzinot ar agrakaja latviešu literatura ierastajiem lauku dzives vai mazo ciemu telojumiem. Savu pirmo dzejas gramatu Seši Caks izdeva 1928. gada, veltitu Rigai un tas dzivei. Šie dzejoli ietvera latviešu dzeja lidz šim neatklatas temas un personažus – pilsetas naktsdzivi, bomžus, prostitutas, nabadzigas nomales, pat kanalizaciju blokmajas. Caks savos darbos parada savu dzilo milestibu pret Rigu tadu, kada ta ir, kas labi redzams dzejola nosaukuma "Sirds uz bruga". Riga gan nav vieniga vina dzejolu tema – Caks rakstijis ari romantisku dzeju un latviešu strelniekiem veltitus darbus. Caks uzrakstija ari dažus noveles, lai gan tas kopuma nav tik pazistamas ka vina dzejoli. Wikipedia

Šeit dzivo Caks ; Aleksandra Caka muzejs
Aleksandrs Caks (born Aleksandrs Cadarainis; 27 October 1901 – 8 February 1950), was a Latvian poet and writer. Caks is arguably the first Latvian writer whose works are distinctly urban, compared to the usual depictions of country life or small villages in earlier Latvian literature. Caks published his first poetry book, Seši, in 1928, dedicated to Riga and its life. These poems included topics and characters previously not depicted in Latvian poetry – city night life, homeless people, prostitutes, poor suburbs, even the sewers in blockhouses. In his works, Caks shows his deep love for Riga as it is, which is well seen in the title of a poem, "Heart on the pavement". Riga is not the only subject of his poems, though – Caks also wrote romantic poetry and works dedicated to the Latvian riflemen. Caks also wrote some short stories, although they are generally not as well known as his poems. Wikipedia
