Nobody Knows Us Here And We Don’t Know Anyone
Kateryna Kalytko
Translated from Ukrainian by Oksana Lutsyshyna
Nobody Knows Us Here And We Don't Know Anyone, by Kateryna Kalytko, is a poetry collection from Ukraine, translated by Olena Jennings and Oksana Lutsyshyna, published by Lost Horse Press. It is a Ukrainian collection by Kateryna Kalytko where displacement, anonymity, and strange arrival become emotional terrain. The title captures one of exile's coldest facts: to be unknown somewhere and to have no one to know in return. I would read this first for the pressure of image and cadence rather than as a puzzle waiting for its correct answer. The useful description for a book like this should give the reader a door, not a lecture: enough context to orient the shelf, then enough mystery to let the poems keep their own weather. For this library, the book matters as more than a representative entry from Ukraine. It shows how poetry in translation can carry local speech, private intensity, and literary history into English without becoming merely informational.
