Czernovitz - Charmovitz
by Aneta Kaminska
Translated by Anna Blasiak & Bohdan Piasecki
Aneta Kamińska is a Polish poet, author of
eight volumes of poetry. She has a wonderful
ear for language and her specialty is poetry
brimming with linguistic games. She is also a
prolific translator of contemporary Ukrainian
poets. This chapbook presents a selection of
Kamińska’s own poetry from across the years.
Through the fracturing of language, with
word and sound-play or othertimes a deceptive
simplicity, Kamińska’s poems pull us up short
with their visceral honesty. Whether she
is writing about the female body, a Jewish
cemetery, the pandemic or the invasion of
Ukraine, her poems are at once fierce and
intimate. She is a unique voice which cannot
be ignored, its freshness and immediacy
discovered and relayed to us in ingenious ways
by her translators.
