Vessels & Passages: a Poetry Series @ the Museum

Wednesday / July 31 / 7-8pm

3550 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA 22201

Free. No Registration Required.

Join us for this new poetry series hosted at the Museum in the Tiffany Gallery. Vessels & Passages features established poets, who will share their work and facilitate open discussions with the public. The series will also support student and local emerging poet programs in the greater DC area to enable their work to be shared as well. Just like in the visual arts, poets need space to share their creativity, and this series will provide that space.

On July 31, Ukrainian-American poet, Olga Livshin, will read original work and translations of Ukrainian poets. Olga Livshin’s poetry and translations appear in the New York Times, Ploughshares, the Kenyon Review, and other journals. She is the author of A Life Replaced: Poems with Translations from Anna Akhmatova and Vladimir Gandelsman (Poets & Traitors Press, 2019). Livshin co-translated Today is a Different War by the Ukrainian poet Lyudmyla Khersonska (Arrowsmith Press, 2023), and A Man Only Needs a Room, a volume of the immigrant Russian poet Vladimir Gandelsman (New Meridian Arts, 2022). She lives near Philadelphia.
