Writing

A portfolio of my creative work sits here.

 I am bilingual’s poet, writer and translator.  My poetry and prose in Russian was previously published in Falter, Prosodia and the Resistance and Opposition Art Review (ROAR), and my first bilingual book, Cycles of Nature, has been recently published by shell(f). In English, my work I previously published in Full House Literary and with magazine Ache.  . I have studied poetry and writing at Arvon,  Edinburgh University’s, Lancaster University’s courses and Russian School of Literary Practice. As a part of these I was privileged to be mentored by Oksana Vasaykina, Eoghan Walls,  Anthony (Vahni) Capildeo, Clare Shaw, Amy Liptrot and Tiffany Murray.

I am interested in auto-theoretical texts, creative non-fiction and poetry that shine light on experiences of emigration, conflict, scientific questions as well as deeply personal human experiences. Alongside, I am also curious about how poetry can work together with science and research. In this form I am trying to extend on what my research doesn’t always allow me to – find form and ways to present experiences, trajectories, patterns that are not always measurable but equally shape social and human life as those we can easily name and count.
