ariel rosé reading tour in the U.S. combines the promotion of the author’s work on the international stage with efforts to support Ukrainian culture. An important component of the project also includes a writer’s residency and public events organized in its frame.
During the tour Rosé will participate in poetry readings and presentations of the books morze nocą jest mięśniem serca (PIW, 2022) and Północ Przypowieści (Znak, 2019). The author will participate in both solo author events and meetings featuring other poets, such as Natalya Sukhonos, Olga Livshin, Randi Ward, Eugene Ostashevsky, and Vasyl Makhno. The events are planned to take place at venues including Salon Salvage in Troy, the Shevchenko Center in New York, the Grolier Poetry Book Shop in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Tamizdat in New York.
The public event at the Shevchenko Center will be the presentation of two publications: the poetry volume morze nocą jest mięśniem serca in a bilingual Polish–Ukrainian edition translated by Natalia Belchenko and published by Duh i Litera, as well as the multilingual anthology dedicated to Ukraine, Both Sides Face East. Durable Words (Academic Studies Press, 2025). The author is a co-editor of this publication, the author of one essay, and the translator of selected poems by Iya Kiva and Serhiy Zhadan into Polish.
