The first UK publication of this award-winning Russian-born American poet and translator.
Eugene Ostashevsky Books
Eugene Ostashevsky writes at the junctures of language, culture, and nation, exploring themes of migration, translation, and second-language expression. His work often deconstructs the linguistic strategies and exclusions embedded within terms like 'native,' 'refugee,' and 'mother tongue.' Ostashevsky's poetry is contemporary, border-crossing, and deeply humane, offering readers a unique perspective on the complexities of identity and communication. His distinct voice transforms abstract concepts into compelling literary explorations.
