Anna Glazova's For the Shrew and Leonid Schwab's Everburning Pilot will appear in English translation this fall. Our seminar will welcome both poets and three of their translators -- Alex Niemi, Alexander Spektor, and Anton Tenser -- to read from the books and answer questions about the poems, the translations, and the current state of Russian poetry.
Even obsessively doomscrolling through news outlets and Twitter does not give us a good sense of why Russia invaded Ukraine. This talk will consider the different explanations for why Russia invaded, as well as the longer term consequences of the war on the global economy, and particularly on energy markets.
