“Globally, Ukrainian poets are establishing Ukrainian poetry as a decolonization mechanism within a global literature canon traditionally dominated by Russian literature. In turn, these poets establish poetry as means of preservation for documenting the daily challenges and brutality of life during wartime. In Lyudmyla Khersonska’s Today Is a Different War, readers encounter a speaker attuned to and in love with the living world and able to document the war’s destruction because of their connection with their surroundings.” - Nicole Yurcaba, World Literature Today

Lyudmyla Khersonska’s striking portrayal of life from inside war-torn Ukraine shows us images that will sear themselves in your memory. Masterfully translated into English by Olga Livshin, Andrew Janco, Maya Chhabra, and Lev Fridman, no other volume of poems captures the duality of fear and bravery, anger and love, despair and hope, as well as the numbness and deep feeling of what it means to be Ukrainian in these unthinkable times. If you want to know what’s in the heart of the Ukrainian people, look no further than this stunning volume of poems.
