“Poetry is a speaking picture, Painting a silent poetry”
I am a Belarusian-American poet and artist based in London. An author of three books of poetry in Russian, I now hold an MFA in Creative Writing from NYU and primarily write in English. My blog about art has over 30k followers. My work has been published in the New York Times among many other places and selected for Poetry Archive.
