Join us for a short 15-minute film and reading from her latest novel, "Voices of Freedom", a collection that demonstrates the unique style and artistry of contemporary Ukrainian literature

About the book: Through poetry, short stories, and essays, "Voices of Freedom" is a collection that demonstrates the desire for freedom and the struggle to achieve it across generations of Ukrainian writers. The curated poetry is an instant reaction to the events taking place today, which speaks directly to this current moment and the national psyche. The short stories sensitize readers to Ukraine's indivisible history and the present. 

About the Author: Kateryna Kazimirova is an editor and media manager. She holds Master’s degrees in Philology (Ukrainian Language and Literature) and History of Art and a Postgraduate degree in Literary Theory from Vasyl’ Stus Donetsk National University. In 2020, she founded the Ukrainian art and literature journal Craft Magazine (craftmagazine.net), which publishes both in Ukrainian and English in-depth interviews with the most talented and creative Ukrainians to showcase to the world the leading voices of modern, free Ukraine.
