A week of Essays from Ukrainian poets who have responded to war in their country since 2014. First hybrid and now total. Oksana Lutsyshyna was born in Uzhhorod, Ukraine, but now resides in Austin, Texas. She is an award-winning writer, translator, and literary scholar. She draws on the legacy of Ukrainian, Polish, Russian, and English language writers. Eastern Europe has become her own private nightmare, where time does not move, where the dead poets speak. 'There's no place on earth that's safe. There's no earth anymore.'.... Producer - Mark Burman For more information on those poets featured in The Essay and others go to https://www.wordsforwar.com/
