Description
Maria Stepanova's Holy Winter 20/21 is a powerful poem that explores the themes of isolation, exile, and social withdrawal during the COVID-19 pandemic. Written in a state of poetic inspiration, it weaves together imagery from various sources to evoke a sense of frozen time. Stepanova draws on her own experiences of feeling disconnected from the world, as well as on the voices of other poets, including Ovid, Sylvia Plath, and Inger Christensen. The result is a polyphonic evocation that captures the complexity of human emotions during this period. This book-length poem is Stepanova's latest work, following her previous book War of the Beasts and the Animals. Its title is prophetic, echoing a famous patriotic Soviet song from 1941, and reflects the poet's ongoing exploration of themes related to war, banishment, and social isolation.
