War often comes along and lies down between you like a child / afraid to be left alone.

--Kateryna Kalytko, tr. from Ukrainian

[Tanya Savchynska @TSavchynska]

Thanks to Kateryna's timely book, we can receive the tools to counter the imposed simplistic Russian narrative about the region and its people. I'm very excited and grateful that this essential book about Ukraine's easternmost regions is now available to the Anglophone audience.

[Tanya Savchynska @TSavchynska]

I'm thrilled to announce that the U.S. edition of @KaterynaZarembo’s book, Ukrainian Sunrise: Stories of the Donetsk and Luhansk Regions from the Early 2000s, is out today from @ASP_Boston in my translation — https://t.co/2kVx7iO5Of

[Tanya Savchynska @TSavchynska]

Prior to the 2014 Russian aggression, the Ukrainian communities and grassroots movements in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions were incredibly diverse and dynamic yet under-researched by scholars. This lack of knowledge about the region has been systematically exploited by Russia.

Коли мене запитають
що таке війна
я без роздуму відповім:
імена.

@dartmouth’s Comp Lit MA program has been instrumental in shaping my teaching and translation work, and I’m forever grateful to the @FulbrightPrgrm for the opportunity to learn from brilliant faculty and students at Dartmouth

[Tanya Savchynska @TSavchynska]

@dartmouth’s Comp Lit MA program is truly transformative. It didn’t just teach me to read more carefully and write more thoughtfully across languages, but it also spurred me to begin translating Ukrainian fiction into English.

[Tanya Savchynska @TSavchynska]

Even amidst war, when our classes are often interrupted by air-raid sirens and we have to continue in the bomb shelter, or as we study in dimly-lit classrooms using good old pen and paper instead of laptops and projectors due to power outages caused by Russia’s missile strikes
