Marking #worldbookday with Artur Dron', "We Were Here", trans. by Yuliya Musakovska, from @jantarbooks.bsky.social

Extraordinary Ukrainian wartime poetry from the front line and beyond.

With @exetercityoflit.bsky.social

One for @simoneweiluk.bsky.social
Gratefully drawing on @katelawson.bsky.social 'Decreation for the Anthopocene' (2024)
Also plenty of Spinoza too for @saditious.bsky.social
Amateur philosophy from me fumbling with my own stick so professional philosophers please tread gently with this!

Amidst the lying and the shameful betrayal of Ukraine the truth shines through.

Read poetry by a brave and brilliant defender of his homeland:

Artur Dron' "We Were Here", trans. by Yuliya Musakovska.
