“More than anything else right now, I am afraid of silence”

-Vladislava Ilinskaya, emailing from Odessa, between air-raid sirens

[Ilya Kaminsky @ilya_poet]

In Odessa, a city full of sandbags and anti tank devices, a city awaiting invasion, afraid, there were many men in the streets yesterday, March 8, international women’s day, buying flowers and hurrying to bring them home.

Don’t forget this.

[Ilya Kaminsky @ilya_poet]

Today's conversation w/ 80+ year old lit editor in Odessa (one who wanted poems for lit magazine when war started)

Me: how can I help today?

He: "I need nothing. I feel I am a witness to a catastrophe, but I need to live through it like everyone--and together with everyone."

[Ilya Kaminsky @ilya_poet]

Yes, poetry is necessary and useful during the war. Just look:

[Al Gore @algore]

Today’s message from the world's scientists is clear: the impacts of the climate crisis demand urgent action to deploy solutions massively and quickly.

Now is the time to move decisively forward in global cooperation to accelerate the net zero transition. #IPCC

[Ilya Kaminsky @ilya_poet]

Me, writing to an older friend in Odessa: how can I help, please let me know I really want help

He writes back: Putins come and go. If you want to help, send us some poems and essays. We are putting together a literary magazine.

And, that is in the middle of war. Imagine.

[Dr. Mama (aka Julia Kolchinsky) @jkolchpoetry]

I wrote this to my birthplace the last time Kyiv was on fire, never imagining she would burn again. People fleeing, sheltering in the subway like the days of WWII my grandparents survived. Never imagining she could be on the verge of falling, again, at the hands of a tyrant.
