About this Event

Alongside their poignant work, the poets will carry the voices of their colleagues serving in Ukraineโ€™s Defence Forces. The poems will be presented in both the original Ukrainian and in English translation.

Come and experience poetry as a space to reflect, connect, and stand together in times of turbulence and uncertainty.

Pay what you can afford. Proceeds will go in support of the Hospitallers Medical Battalion.

Books by the participating poets will be available for purchase at the event.

This work is supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council Curiosity Award (grant number UKRI3524).
