Reading at Martuni’s and new publications

San Francisco friends: Come next Thursday to Martuni’s on Market Street. It’s a great reading series hosted by a wonderful poet James J. Siegel, and I’m so happy to be invited back. It’s always so much fun! Pro tip: the drinks are really strong.

New publications:

I was delighted to see my translation of a poem by Kyiv-based writer Olga Bragina in Cagibi. I have been experimenting with literary translation in a low-key way for many years, and I am very grateful to Olga for trusting me with her work. Two more poems from this cycle are slated to appear in World Literature Today and five more in Consequence, and I’m hoping to place more elsewhere.

A new fiction of mine, “Untrampled by Horses,” appears in Defenestration. It’s a humor piece. It’s supposed to be funny!
An older story, “Doctor Sveta,” that also appears in my collection LIKE WATER AND OTHER STORIES has been published online by Alaska Quarterly Review that had originally taken it for their print magazine. If you’re interested in Cold War history from the Soviet point of view, this story is for you!

Thank you for reading! Keep in touch!

Olga
