AWW23: Mother Tongue, Motherland & Motherlessness - Julia Cimafiejeva

Chair: Jill Jones


Julia Cimafiejeva is a Belarusian poet and translator now living
in exile. Through poems that are intensely personal and
political, she explores language and its limits. Cimafiejeva
opens up about her childhood in a Chernobyl zone, her insistence
on self-determination in a deeply authoritarian state and the
despair and guilt she feels in fleeing.
