Description
Still City: Diary of an Invasion is Oksana Maksymchuk's debut in English, reflecting life in the aftermath of extreme and unpredictable violence. Written as a poetic journal, it recreates the mood and tone of the context in which a poet's imagination must make sense of change.
The book draws on various sources, including social media, news, witness accounts, recorded oral histories, photographs, drone video footage, intercepted communication, and official documents, to tell the shared experience of a community under threat. Maksymchuk's writing captures how everyday rituals were imbued with a sense of finality and precarity as anticipation of catastrophe grew.
Published in 2024, this powerful and poignant work offers a unique perspective on life during times of uncertainty and upheaval.
