SUMMARY:: Poetry Society Annual Lecture: Ilya Kaminsky
DESCRIPTION:Yoko Ono Lennon Centre\, 60 Oxford Street\nLiverpool\, L7 3NY\n
 \nThe Poetry Society Annual Lecture / University of Liverpool Allott Lectu
 re: “Poetry in a time of crisis”\n\nThe Poetry Society is delighted to
  announce that poet Ilya Kaminsky will be visiting the UK to give the 2023
  Poetry Society Annual Lecture. Held in partnership with the University of
  Liverpool’s Allott Lecture series\, the event will be live in Liverpool
  on 15 May and will combine an exciting new lecture\, poems and Q&amp\;A (
 Chaired by Sandeep Parmar).\n\nKaminsky’s lecture explores poetry in a t
 ime of crisis. Focusing on poets from Ukraine\, and including examples fro
 m many of the poets writing out of the current conflict\, Kaminsky will al
 so draw on a wider historical context (discussing poets such as Paul Celan
 ) as well as poems that touch on contemporary crisis in the West (referenc
 ing poets such as m nourbeSe philip).\n\nA year on from Russia’s full-sc
 ale invasion of Ukraine\, Kaminsky has just published a new anthology of p
 oetry from Ukraine\, In the Hour of War\, which he’s co-edited with Caro
 lyn Forché. The event will include a selection of poems from the antholog
 y as well as some of Kaminsky’s own work.\n\nSelected by the BBC as ‘o
 ne of the 12 artists that changed the world’\, Kaminsky is author of the
  award-winning collections Dancing in Odessa and Deaf Republic – poems w
 hich confront the atrocities of our time and our collective silence in the
  face of them. Born in Odesa\, Ukraine in 1977\, he’s lived in the Unite
 d States since 1993 when his family was granted asylum. He is Professor of
  Poetry at Princeton University.\n\nThe Poetry Society’s Annual Lecture 
 Series has been proud to commission many of the most influential voices in
  international poetry. Poets who have given earlier lectures include Anne 
 Carson\, Valzhyna Mort\, Les Murray\, Eavan Boland\, C K Williams\, Rita D
 ove\, Terrance Hayes\, Paul Muldoon and Charles Simic.\n\nKaminsky’s lec
 ture will be printed in full in the June 2023 issue of The Poetry Review.
