A bilingual poetry reading of Marianna Kiyanovska’s work followed by a conversation with Professor Russell Valentino, chair of the Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures department
Kiyanovska is one of Ukraine’s most celebrated poets.
Halina Goldberg, professor of musicology at the IU Jacobs School of Music and director of the IU Byrnes Russian and East European Institute, will introduce the poet. The event will be followed by a small reception.
The reading will be bilingual—each poem will be read first by the poet in the original Ukrainian, and each will be followed by a reading of the English translation. See https://books.huri.harvard.edu/authors/336 and https://books.huri.harvard.edu/books/voices-babyn-yar for more information about the poet and her latest book.
