Dmitry Golynko reading

An event sponsored by the Slavic Department, the Office of the Secretary, and the Slavic Colloquium.Dmitry Golynko, born in 1969 in Leningrad, is one of the most innovative poets in Russia today, employing his poetry to examine the relationship between post-Soviet language, culture, and society. The author of three books of poems—Homo Scribens, Directory, andConcrete Doves—Golynko has been nominated for the Andrey Bely Prize. His poetry has been translated into several European languages. In his parallel career as a cultural critic, he defended a pioneering PhD dissertation on the Russian post-avant-garde and regularly publishes essays on contemporary art and cinema. After a teaching stint in South Korea and a fellowship at the Literarischer Colloquium Berlin, he is again living in Saint Petersburg.
