What does it mean to write poetry on the front line of the bloodiest war in Europe since the Second World War?
Join the Ukrainian servicewoman and prize-winning poet, Yaryna Chornohuz, to hear her work written under fire while saving lives as a combat medic and gain a unique perspective on world events.
Yaryna Chornohuz is one of the most prominent voices amidst an extraordinary generation of Ukrainian warrior poets, the likes of which has not been seen since the First World War - what is it about poetry that allows to raise a voice in defence of human life in the face of a genocidal force that seeks to destroy it?
Learn also about the translation process of such intense poetry with researchers from the University of Exeter.
Come along if you’re interested in Russia’s war on Ukraine or poetry or both. The event is suitable for adults and children 12+.
