Book Trailer
This anthology is a moving and powerful testament to what poetry can do to both report from the times of crisis and uplift us in such times. Herein American audiences will find both legendary poets, already known here, and new voices whose work inspires and pays tribute to their country as it is invaded while the rest of the world watches on. What moves me most is the details, nuances, memorable phrases, that show the momentary flashes of clarity are possible, despite all the odds. I am grateful to all who did the translation and editorial work to make this volume possible, and I hope it finds many readers. These moving voices from a war-zone deserve to be heard. ~ Ilya Kaminsky
Admirably diverse in the approaches and styles, as well in the backgrounds of poets and translators participating, this anthology gathers voices of poets in Ukraine and globally speaking up about the resilience of Ukrainians resisting Russia’s brutal invasion and sharing deep emotional truth about the horrors of war. Moving and essential reading. ~ Vitaly Chernetsky
This remarkable anthology brings together voices of poets responding to the war against Ukraine from across the globe and across languages. Poems by Ukrainian poets in Ukraine and abroad-present in their Cyrillic originals and translations-along with those by their anglophone allies from around the world, form a chorus of endurance, resistance, and hope. In the face of atrocity, Sunflowers reminds us how poetry remains an unwavering home for both writer and reader, capable of building community, bridging divides of oceans and languages, and taking much needed action in a fracturing world. ~ Julia Kolchinsky Dasbach
