Published by Thirty West Publishing House (2021)
Alla Vilnyanskaya’s debut collection VOID takes a closer look at femicide and literary culture. The collection includes translations of Ukrainian poet Anastassia Afanas’eva. In a parallel universe, Anastassia’s poems are the metaphysical double that takes us into the uncanny realm of the imagination. Poems and translations by Alla Vilnyanskaya that appear in this book have been previously published in Asymptote, Saint Ann’s Review, and Schlag Magazine, among others.
