14:00-15:00  Editor Talk by David Parry: A Poetic Treasury From Belarus: ‘A celebration of the life and work of Vera Rich.’ In this adventurous poetic treasury, three remarkable wordsmiths from Belarus are further introduced to specialists and general anglophone readers alike. A feat only realisable through the outstanding vision and almost legendary skills of translator, journalist, songsmith and cultural historian, Vera Rich. Her insightful, pioneering work on the potent and stirring verses of Janka Kupala — the bard and prophet of Belarusian letters — is accompanied by subtle interpretations of Jakub Kolas — the wry observer of Belarusian customs — along with Maksim Bahdanovich — its experimental, sophisticated and lyrical literary moderniser. Each fearless poet, in turn, constructed the foundations upon which contemporary Belarusian literature is built. This proud collection of captivating poetry from a uniquely gifted nation celebrates the achievements of an astonishing lady.

15:00 — 16:00 John Farndon Talk: Brings to life in English some of the best poetry from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Yakutia, Tatarstan and Russia.

John Farndon is a best-selling author of non-fiction books, a playwright, poet, composer and translator. His translations of poetry for the Uzbek author Hamid Ismailov’s ‘The Devil’s  Dance’ helped it win the European Bank RD Literary Prize 2019.
