Jonas Strielkūnas (1939 - 2010) was a Lithuanian poet, translator and publicist.
He started to publish poems in 1958. Many of his poems became songs for which music was written by Benjaminas Gorbulskis, Vygandas Telksnys and Algimantas Raudonikis.
The prevailing motive is the connection with the native land as the basis of human existence, the measure of ethical values. The author poetizes the nature of his homeland, expresses patriotic feelings with images of the specifics of rural existence, historical and cultural memories. The poetry of Strielkūnas is characterized by the transparency of the image, calm contemplation, spontaneous simplicity, motifs of folklore, the lyricism of Lithuanian songs and sensuality is combined with material concreteness.
