August 27th, 2024
In Nucleus (Ronsdale $18.95), Svetlana Ischenko explores the creative tension between her identity as a Ukrainian poet and her experiences as an immigrant in Canada. This collection offers a unique perspective, blending Ukrainian traditions with Canadian influences as Ischenko reflects on her homeland while embracing her new life. The poems transition from structured sonnets to freer, lyrical forms, capturing the interplay of her dual sensibilities. The book also includes an introductory essay that delves into the immigrant’s journey of self-translation in a new country. 9781553807070
