Asa reading Zhadan's poem - am I sleeping?😍💛💙
Watching from Belo Horizonte- Brasil ❤
That poem about Atlantis was deep. It hit me like a brick. The one discussing war as feeling like nothing (At Least Now) was also impactful for me; the idea that confidence comes from hate and that being stuck in one's position, not allowing for another's words to break in was very relevant. Hearing the Ukrainian woman read the poem from when the Russian invasion began moved me to tears as did the reversal poem.
Riddell ❤❤❤
‘Home’ was particularly powerful
Watching from Armenia🇦🇲 Ukraine stay strong🤝🇺🇦
That’s 10 AM PST, then, not London time?
Thanks for sharing..why is their an artist drawing faces as they read the poems? I find that so interesting and lovely but curious and wonder why this was done? I see it's the authors being drawn but why wasn't done..Hope someone can tell me. Thanks for sharing
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🙏
Ok, let's see the Dragon.
I envy you...
I don't see Helena Bomham Carter here.
In a war, there are no nation victims, as NATO, US politics can be assigned to all the warnings of Russia 🇷🇺, which content was ignored. Let's not be blind. There are larger forces at play.
