Book description
Why read it?
1 author picked A Crash Course in Molotov Cocktails as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Halyna Kruk (born in 1974) has a few poems in the volume Words for War; this is the first book of her work in English, and it has already won a prize for Best Book in poetry translation.
Kruk’s poetry feels very contemporary in style, nicely rendered by her translators, who leapt into action when the war began and immediately reached for Kruk’s work. As the title tells you, it addresses this difficult and tragic moment, but it also reaches beyond the moment to address universal human questions in genuine poetry, not ever mere reportage.
From Sibelan's list on poetry from Eastern Europe in translation.
