SUMMARY:Moonstone Present: Olga Livshin
DESCRIPTION:Original poetry by the Russian-American poet Olga Livshin\, alongside her translations of Russian poetry by Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966) and Vladimir Gandelsman (b. 1948). Foreword by Ilya Kaminsky. \n“Olga Livshin has braided her own poems with her superb translations of Akhmatova and Gandelsman\, poets she describes as “ecstatic voices.” Livshin’s voice\, too\, is ecstatic–and unflinching\, and loving\, and full of earned wisdom. In poem after poem\, Livshin\, who immigrated to the US from Russia as a child\, acknowledges the two Americas she knows firsthand: the one that fears and demonizes\, and the one that welcomes. A Life Replaced is astonishingly beautiful\, intelligent\, and important.” Maggie Smith \n  \n  \n-Charles S. Carr\, Host
