{"product_id":"silence-dressed-in-cyrillic-letters-9780674301016","title":"Silence Dressed in Cyrillic Letters","description":"Born out of the pain and loss of a fragmented present, Iya Kiva's poetry, collected in English translation in \u003ci\u003eSilence Dressed in Cyrillic Letters, \u003c\/i\u003e stitches memories of the past into Ukraine's new reality. Since war broke out in her native Donetsk in 2014, she has become a prominent voice of Ukraine's internally displaced citizens, finding new metaphors to express the ongoing uncertainties of this time. Kiva first began publishing in her native Russian but, since the Donbas war, she has shifted to writing in Ukrainian. Her poems also reflect her mixed Ukrainian, Russian, and Jewish background and contribute to defining contemporary Ukraine--a culturally and linguistically diverse sovereign country. As Ukraine struggles for its existence, Kiva offers lyric poems that acknowledge the deep trauma of war while radiating love and hope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKiva, Iya:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Iya Kiva is an award-winning poet, translator, and journalist from Donetsk, now living in Lviv, Ukraine.
