A Crash Course in Molotov Cocktails (2023), shortlisted for 2024 Griffin Poetry Prize) emerged out of a productive collaboration between the Ukrainian writer Halyna Kruk and her translators Amelia M. Glaser (UCSD) and Yuliya Ilchuk (Stanford).
In this reading event, Halyna Kruk will talk about writing poetry during the war, while her translator Yuliya Ilchuk will explain what makes Kruk's poems idiosyncratic and universal for Western audience.
