I can’t help sharing another of Mykola Bazhan’s poems revisiting Adam Mickiewicz’s exile in Odesa and Crimea in 1825. This one is a magnificent evocation of the power of the Black Sea.

The prize is lurking just beyond reach… but we’re getting closer. No government grants. No arts funding. Just us, fighting to make #TheBrokenSpinePoetryAward happen. We’ve come so far, but without £5,000, the prize won’t be what it should be. Donate today. 🔗

A Poetry Award That Puts Poets First – And You Can Make It Happen - The Broken Spine

Poets deserve more than empty prestige. They deserve real recognition, real opportunities, and real support. That is why I am launching The Broken Spine
