"Halyna Kruk has found a language to ingest violence and horror — blunt and eloquent, witty and aphoristic, her language is layered and electric as it takes on the daily dislocations of Russia’s barbaric war on Ukraine. Idiosyncratic and universal, these poems bring us necessary news as only poetry can."
A panel of experts will discuss the poem "Mother" from the chapbook Some Poems by Halyna Kruk in Ukrainian, Irish, and English languages. Sponsored by the Nanovic Institute for European Studies and the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies at the Keough School of Global Affairs.
Free and open to all. Lunch will be available starting at noon for participants while supplies last.
