Maria Galina appears in a prestigious poetry award shortlist
We are excited to tell you that Maria Galina's book ‘On Two Feet’ made top ten poetical collections in 2009 according to Moskovski Schyot (The Moscow Tally) literary prize.
The overall winner of the prize will be named tomorrow on Friday at the 5th Moscow International Book Festival, one hour before Maria will appear at Apollo cinema in London to read her poetry at the event organised by Academia Rossica.
We congratulate Maria with this huge achievement and keep our fingers crossed that she takes the first prize.
Maria Galina has already won this prize for 'Noland' (‘Неземля’), her first poetry publication in Moscow, in 2006.
The winner is chosen by around two hundred Moscow poets of all ages and literary schools.
The annual prize, set up in 2003, has two nominations: for an overall winner and for an author who published his first book.
