Beschreibung

Worlds fail when words fail. Catastrophe-- KATASTROPHĒ, in the sense of an intense turn--invites encounters with new languages, new stories, and new strategies against nihilism and obliteration. Books like this one are tools to reinforce memory and integrity. The contributors to Both Sides Face East see a portion of their world that is often invisible. Translation across languages and cultures may bridge the gap between the seen and the unseen, the speakable and the unspeakable. Responding to the urgent demand for translation and understanding raises an important question: What will endure? This book answers with poetry, stories, documentation, and evidence of resilience from Ukraine and beyond.
