About the event


We're excited that the Ukrainian poetry will feature at the Cheltenham Literature Festival (4-13 October). This year UAID’s remarkable volunteers will present wartime poems from Ukrainian authors including eminent poet Yaryna Chornohuz, who in responding to a traumatic upheaval, create a language for events that defy words.


Poetry is the medium most reactive to the traumas and changes within the human means of expression, within language. While the other means and modes of literature need time and concentrated effort of attention to pronounce their observation, poetry has the capacity to react urgently and uses the fact of shattered language as its tragic building material.

 

In recent years, poetry writing in Ukraine acquired a new vitality, diversity, and strong national resonance. It serves as a reminder of what it takes not to lose humanity and dignity in a time of war
