Contents

In 2019, the BBC named Kaminsky among "12 Artists who changed the world". [1]

Life

Kaminsky was born in Odesa, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union (now Ukraine) on April 18, 1977, to a Jewish family. [2] He became hard of hearing at the age of four due to mumps. [2] He began to write poetry as a teenager in Odesa. [3] His family was granted asylum to live in the United States in 1993 due to antisemitism in Ukraine, and settled in Rochester, New York. [4] He started to write poems in English in 1994. [5]

Kaminsky is the author of critically acclaimed collections of poetry, Dancing in Odesa (2004) and Deaf Republic (2019). Both books were written in English, Kaminsky's second language. [6]

Over the years, Kaminsky has also become known for his passionate advocacy of translation of international literature in the United States. A long time poetry editor at Words Without Borders, [7] and Poetry International, [8] he has also edited several anthologies of poetry from around the world, including Ecco Anthology of International Poetry (HarperCollins), [9] which is widely used in classrooms all over the country. He has also founded and edited Poets in the World, a book series [10] which is dedicated to publishing compilations of poetry from around the globe, including places such as Iraq, China, Eastern Europe, South America, and elsewhere.[ citation needed ] He has also edited and translated several collections of poetry from Ukraine.

Kaminsky has worked as a law clerk for San Francisco Legal Aid and the National Immigration Law Center. More recently, he worked pro-bono as the Court Appointed Special Advocate for Orphaned Children in Southern California. [11] Currently, he is a professor at Princeton and lives in New Jersey.[ citation needed ]

Critical reception

Writing for The New Yorker , Kevin Young calls Deaf Republic "a contemporary epic. Evident throughout is a profound imagination, matched only by the poet's ability to create a republic of conscience that is ultimately ours, too" [12]

In The New York Times, Parul Sehgal says: "I was stunned by Ilya Kaminsky's Deaf Republic, lyric poems presented as a play in two acts, set in a country in crisis, inspired both by Odesa, where Kaminsky grew up, and America, where he now lives. It's a book about censorship, political apathy, torture — "the nakedness / of the whole nation" — but also about tomato sandwiches, the birth of a daughter and the sudden, almost shocking joys of longtime married life." [13]

In The Guardian, Fiona Benson says: "I fell hard for Ilya Kaminsky's Deaf Republic. Part folklore, fable, war story and love poem, it imagines an occupied town falling deaf in response to the shooting of a child. Often devastating, always humane, this is a book of the century, let alone this year." [14]

Washington Examiner calls Deaf Republic "a contemporary masterpiece. This book is proof that in 2019 great poetry can enjoy tremendous popularity." [15]

About Kaminsky's first book, Dancing in Odesa, Robert Pinsky writes: "Passionate, daring to laugh and weep, direct yet unexpected, Ilya Kaminsky's poetry has a glorious tilt and scope." [16]

Deaf Republic was listed as The New York Times Notable Book [28] and was called Best Book of the Year by numerous publications, including NPR, [35] The Washington Post , [36] The New York Times Book Review , [37] Times Literary Supplement , [38] Publishers Weekly , [38] Financial Times , [39] The Guardian , [40] [41] Irish Times , [42] Library Journal , [43] The Daily Telegraph , [44] New Statesman , [45] Slate, [46] Vanity Fair , [47] Literary Hub, [48] Huffington Post , [49] the New York Public Library, [50] and American Library Association.
