ROAR: RUSSIAN OPPOSITION ARTS REVIEW, FIRST ISSUE
In this excerpt from a recently recorded discussion with poet, Fulbright scholar, and translator Anna Aksenova, Anna reads her translation of a poem by activist, poet, and queer-feminist advocate Galina Rymbu. We briefly discuss the Russian War against Ukraine, as well as an Russian oppositional literary magazine being published in response to the war, ROAR: Russian Opposition Arts Review. The first issue of ROAR collects an array of voices against the war in Ukraine, including poems, anonymous letters, sound, and art.
We strongly encourage listeners to visit ROAR’s first issue online at:
