Description

In honor of National Poetry Month and in solidarity with our human family in the Ukraine In honor of National Poetry Month, and in solidarity with our human family in the Ukraine, Carmichael's is proud to present a Celebration of Ukrainian Poetry. May the beauty of the word prevail over oppression and violence. Some topics in this insightful exploration of contemporary and traditional Ukrainian poetry include: How word in poetry helps to cross the language borders and keeps the poetry contemporary through the time. Why Ukrainian poetry is presented by this specific list of poets in USA. Poems will be read in both languages for audience to see the rhythm and rhymes and how it gets converted when you change the language. How the environment brings new meanings and metaphors to the published poetry. How Ukrainian poets celebrated international poetry day on March 23.  And, finally, how the poetry which is already published is describing the current situation in Ukraine. And I will read something that overlaps with my personal experience and with what my family is going through.  Q&A and group discussion to follow.
