Valzhyna Mort
30 Minutes’ Worth of Bones

The poet and translator Valzhyna Mort will read works from her recent collection, Music for the Dead and Resurrected, and speak about a lyrical voice in the time of crisis. Music for the Dead and Resurrected, winner of the International Griffin Poetry Prize, was a New York Times selection for “The Best Poetry of 2020.” This collection illuminates life in the shadows of imperial forces, speaking through familiar trauma with grotesque humor, looking with more than the eyes.

Valzhyna Mort is the Rome Prize Fellow in Literature and associate professor in the Department of English at Cornell University.

The shoptalks will be held in English.
