Dancing in OdessaIlya Kaminsky Described as a rich, reverberative dance with memories of a haunted city (LA Times), the poems of the prize winning debut Dancing in Odessa by Ilya Kaminsky, author of Deaf Republic, draw on archetype, myth and Russian literary figures. Tightly realised domestic settings are invigorated with a contemporary relevance, humour and torment, and a distinctive, transcendent music.
