New Ukrainian Voices in Poetry “Girl with a Bullet Book” Book Launch
Join us for the launch of “Girl with a Bullet,” Ukrainian poet Anna Malihon’s English-language debut, which gathers daring, resilient, open-eyed poems written before and after Russia’s full-scale invasion, published by World Poetry. Anna will be joined by the book’s translator, Olena Jennings.
Anna Malihon is an award-winning Ukrainian poet and the author of six books of poetry and a novel. Her work has been published in numerous Ukrainian literary journals, included in several anthologies, and translated into Bulgarian, Polish, Czech, Georgian, Armenian, and French. In 2022, Russia’s full-scale invasion forced her to leave Ukraine. She lives in Paris, France.
Olena Jennings is the author of the poetry collection The Age of Secrets (Lost Horse Press), the chapbook Memory Project, and the novel Temporary Shelter (Cervena Barva Press). She is the translator of collections by Ukrainian poets Kateryna Kalytko (co-translated with Oksana Lutsyshyna), Iryna Shuvalova, and Vasyl Makhno. Her translation of Yuliya Musakovska’s The God of Freedom was released in 2024 from Arrowsmith Press. She lives in Queens, New York, where she founded and curates the Poets of Queens reading series and press.
