An evening with Maria Galina!
Maria Galina and Arkady Shtipel, two distinguished contemporary Russian poets, will read their poetry (in Russian and English).
Maria Galina is a poet and writer whose work is made up of a colourful mix of the ordinary and the extraordinary. Her avant-garde writing is juxtaposed with folkloric, otherworldly images which play within and alongside the everyday, making for a style which is completely her own. Maria Galina’s sharp feeling of irony and the intensity of her world also convey a sense that beyond the realms of the ordinary, there is an lurking darkness, gloom and brutality. And yet this ethereal world is not bleak, but whimsical and unpredictable.
