Ukrainian Resilience and Reflection in Times of War with Oksana Maksymchuk

Date: Thursday, February 27, 2025
Time: 5:00 PM
Location: Weiser Hall, Ann Arbor – Auditorium 1010

Join us for an essential conversation on poetry, resilience, and remembrance as we mark the anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Acclaimed Ukrainian poet, translator, and scholar Oksana Maksymchuk will present readings from her recently published work, Still City: Diary of an Invasion (Pittsburgh UP/Carcanet Press, 2024).

This powerful collection captures the anticipation of war and its emotional aftermath, offering a deeply personal and lyrical perspective on Ukraine’s ongoing struggle. Named one of the Financial Times’ best summer poetry books of 2024, Still City is a testament to endurance, loss, and the power of language in times of crisis.

This event is free and open to the public. Spread the word and join us for an evening of reflection and literary insight.
