Ukrainian poet and prose writer
Mariya Tytarenko
(Марія
Титаренко, born in Sakhalin, 1981) may be better known
professionally in her homeland as an art critic, journalist,
and educator at the Catholic University of Lviv where she
teaches media communications. She was awarded the
Bohdan Ihor Antonych Prize in 2010 for the best manuscript
of poetry by a poet under 28 years of age. Her prose piece
“A Half Hour of Sky” earned first prize in the category of
the Ukrainian novella at the Book Arsenal Literary Festival
in 2013. Her poem “Bridges” comprises a striking poetic
meditation on Paul Celan with inventive use of language
that collapses and expands on itself. We’re thrilled to offer
you this poem as an
animated video ,performed by the
poet herself in English translation.
