He attended primary school at Papilys, graduating in 1908; he studied at the Saulė (The Sun), taking courses for teachers and at Biržai progymnasium. In 1910 he entered the school of agriculture in Voronec (near Švenčionys), but for the lack of funds moved to Vilnius in 1913 and began to prepare himself privately for matriculation examinations. In 1909 K.Binkis began to publish prose and verse in Viltis (The Hope), Vaivorykštė (The Rainbow), and Pirmasis baras (The First Field).

In 1919 he was appointed a secretary of editorial board of the journal Liepsna (The Flame) in Vilnius. In the same year he moved to Kaunas. There he worked at the press bureau, volunteered for the Geležinis Vilkas (The Iron Wolf) regiment and participated in concerts. In 1920-1923 he studied, with interruptions, literature and philosophy at Berlin University. At the same time he took part in the literary movement Keturi vėjai (The Four Winds), being the leader of the budding Lithuanian futurism (1922–1928).[1]

Nors ir kišeninė, bet aprėpianti poeto kūrybą nuo 1913 iki 1937 metų. Sveikintinas sprendimas suskirstyti rinktinę į du etapus - ankstyvąjį ir vėlyvąjį Binkį (kartais net tai nėra padaroma, kad ir kaip tai bebūtų akivaizdu). Aišku, ankstyvasis nieko įdomaus nepasiūlo, bet gal ir mano vertinimas jau kaip viską žinančios amžiumi vėliau skaitančiosios. Vienok, pusė „Lyrikos“ yra tik gražus padūsavimas, pasigrožėjimas gamta ir mergužėle, tik prailginantis jau ir tai kišeninės skaitymą. Antroji dalis trumpai drūtai: šokanti kadrilį su vaizduote. Neapsiskaitymo vedama turiu tik pridurti, kad galbūt ne pačios labiausios eilės atrinktos. Vis dėlto širdis dainuoja nuo žodžių įvairovės, nuo subtilaus humoro, nuo multikultūriškumo. Būtų 4/5, jei ne ta mini kančia, užėmusi pirmą pusę rinktinės.
