Acclaimed poet and translator Anya Krushelnitskaya presents "Dislocation," a landmark bilingual collection of Russian-language antiwar poetry from the storied publishing house Slavica. This collection focuses on the war between Russia and Ukraine as seen by Russophone poets from all over the world. Divided into thematic clusters, the book delves into the death, despair, displacements, and dislocations brought on by the war, as well as the determination and hope of the people who stand for freedom and against Putin’s aggressive and repressive regime. The writing is poignant, beautiful, and, in many cases, mordantly funny. This poetry both reflects and participates in a language and a literary culture that are riven by civilizational conflicts. The featured poems were sourced from Kopilka, a repository of current antiwar poetry.<br>Come listen to gain a different perspective on the conflict that has gripped global headlines for two years and think about the ways art can foster political participation.  <br>Hosted by Prof. Emily Wang from the Department of German, Slavic, and Eurasian Studies and co-sponsored by the CSLC, Language & Culture Week. <br><br><a href="http://cslc.nd.edu/news-and-events/events/2025/02/12/dislocation-anti-war-russian-poetry/">http://cslc.nd.edu/news-and-events/events/2025/02/12/dislocation-anti-war-russian-poetry/</a>
