Communiqués
Maria Galina
Translated from Russian and Ukrainian by Ainsley Morse
Communiqués, by Maria Galina, is a Russian and Ukrainian poetry collection from Ukraine, translated by Anna Halberstadt, Ainsley Morse, published by Cicada Press. It is a book that feels alert to messages sent under pressure, where public catastrophe and private perception keep interrupting each other. There is enough factual grounding here to place the book, but the real test is readerly. Does the poem leave an image behind; does it change the room; does it ask the tongue to behave differently for a moment? This collection earns its place because it keeps that possibility open. That small hesitation matters, because poetry often begins where summary stops being enough.
