Summary:

"Boris Khersonsky and Lyudmyla Khersonsky write poetry that speaks to the crisis of our time, when refugees run from bombardments, nonstop propaganda flows from TV and neighbors begin to hate their neighbors. It is Ukraine, at the start of the 21st century, but it is also eerily recognizable anywhere. These brief lyric poems speak about the memory of historical trauma and witness stark individual voices that pierce through the wall of complacency. What is the music of such times? What is its metaphysics? This collection of poetry from two contemporary voices gives us a unflinching, memorable response."--Publisher description.

Machine generated contents note: Lyudmyla Khersonsky

She dreamed of a humanitarian convoy

Buried in a human neck, a bullet

A country in the shape of a puddle

Language is like a tooth

In a country where everyone's name is fear

How to describe

Hide Under the Blanket and Pull It Over Your Head

Vote for Our Country Becoming a Wagon

Went out and stumbled over people

Apple

Keeping House

See the tail that wags the dog

Yes now she understands it all

One night, a humanitarian convoy arrived in her dreams

Look at her, she's lost her tongue

Boris Khersonsky

The nation welcomes the occupants with as they say bread and salt

Why sit like a guest but not wipe your feet

They printed in the medical history

Bessarabia, Galicia, 1913 - 1939 Pronouncements

Explosions Are the New Normal

Punishment

Against the backdrop of silent muses

Explosions are the new normal

I read with an accent

When victory is ours

-postwar executions start

The earth is reflected twice

People carry explosives around the city

This morning's rain overpowers the dim morning light.
