Yuliya Musakovska celebrates the upcoming release of her poetry collection, The God of Freedom, in English translation from Arrowsmith Press with cover art by Anastasiia Starko. Joining her will be her translator Olena Jennings. The event will feature a reading in both Ukrainian and English. Vasyl Makhno will moderate a discussion about the wartime reality of Ukraine under the Russian invasion and the role of cultural activism in the Ukrainian resistance. Yuliya and Olena will also speak about their translation process.

Published in Ukraine in 2021, The God of Freedom reflects on many events of Russia’s aggressive war against Ukraine that began in 2014 before taking its full-scale form in 2022. The collection was shortlisted for the Lviv UNESCO City of Literature Prize and named in the top eight nominees for the Taras Shevchenko National Prize. Poems from the collection have been translated into many languages and published in The Southern Review, AGNI, Tupelo Quarterly, NELLE, The Common, and other journals and anthologies.

Lesia Ukrainka was named Mykhailo Drahomanov's intellectual daughter and his "right hand." How the relationship between the uncle and niece developed, how Larysa Kosach's three renaming of herself are related to him, and how Drahomanov became the father of Ukrainian modern nationalism. All of this and much more will be addressed in the lecture by the well-known literary critic Tamara Hundorova as part of the presentation of her book "Леся Українка. Книги Сивілли" (2023).
