Talk Amongst Yourselves: The Great Anti-Debate

  #thegreatarmstradedebate: 1914: the Western world is descending into the bloodiest war it has ever witnessed.

English PEN Ukrainian Poetry Evening

          Given the current crisis in Ukraine, and my own lack of expertise in the country’s history and politics, it is humbling indeed to be included in English PEN’s Ukrainian Poetry Evening in Oxford this Thursday, featuring poet Ihor Pavlyuk and translator Steve Komarnyckyj reading from A Flight over the Black Sea, published this month by…
