When war shatters daily life, poetry rises as testimony. Ukrainian poets speak in words that refuse silence, tracing the lines between loss and resilience, grief and human dignity. These voices transform private sorrow into collective memory, recording, resisting, and reimagining a world against the grain of destruction.
With readings from Anna Malihon, Iryna Vikyrchak, Lesyk Panasiuk and their translators Olena Jennings, Nina Murray, and Ilya Kaminsky.
Moderated by Uilleam Blacker.
Presented in partnership with Razom for Ukraine and the Ukrainian Cultural Festival.
