An Evening with Elena Sannikova: Poetry, Prose, and Two Book Presentations

“I’ve been many things in this life — a dissident in the 1980s, a political prisoner, coordinator of a charity foundation supporting inmates, author of petitions, underground collections, and press articles, editor, mother of many children, and even, a little, a teacher… But above all, I’ve always remained a poet.”

At this literary evening, Elena Sannikova will present her selected poetry collection and her new book “The Kolyma Tale.”
