The Pushkin House residency in London is as prestigious as it is competitive, with numerous applicants judged by a panel of legendary Russian translators and writers. During her residency, Katherine E. Young will be working closely alongside Russophone poet Iya Kiva in order to produce an English language translation of her poetry collection, People of the Donbas.
