More About the Event
Photojournalist, an award-winning poet and London Library Emerging Writer Anastasia Taylor-Lind, launches her debut poetry collection, One Language, with readings, discussion and reflections on the war in Ukraine, where she is currently reporting from the frontline. Winner of the 2021 International Book & Pamphlet Competition, and published by Smith|Doorstop, One Language is a remarkable debut collection. Concise but complex poems draw on Taylor-Lind’s first-hand experience of war in the Donbas region of Ukraine to explore how damage is generated and perpetuated. The book’s title expresses the contradiction between the lingua franca of photography and the equally universal language of violence.
One Language comes to an understanding of personal history and global conflict in poetry that is as immediate and evocative as the most urgent of dispatches.
