Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
A four-part interactive seminar exploring the lives and poetry of four Soviet poet women: Tsvetaeva, Akmatova, Alilueva and Yarovaya. We will learn about the repression of their art by the Soviet regime and afterwards discuss what it means to be free. We will read selected works by each woman to explore how their desire for freedom, both political and personal, influenced their work.
