I often see mentions of Russian speakers in Ukraine switching to Ukrainian, but usually not in the course of a single poem.

Stunning work by Anastasia Afanasieva, translated by Katie Farris and Ilya Kaminsky.

Hey folks. Another important development in #LitStudies Mastodon: we now have a group thanks to @AnnaSBrasch. The group is @litstudies

A group is an account you can follow that will gather all Mastodon posts that mention the group. It’s sort of like following a hashtag/topic on Twitter.

Please boost this (or Anna’s post about this) so that everyone in #LitStudies Mastodon knows about it.
