SPECIAL BOOK CLUB EVENT! Discussion of "Deaf Republic" by Ilya Kaminsky In-Person
This is a hybrid program being offered in-person and via Zoom.
ASL interpreter will be provided.
Please join us and become a part of Big Read: NTID. This book and discussion will "explore the themes of language, power and community, spotlight the history of deaf poetry in the United States, and encourage people from diverse backgrounds to experiment with poetry as a means of expressing their own experiences of language, power and community."
Our discussion will be facilitated by Dr. Jill Bradbury, the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) Director of Performing Arts, and will be translated by an ASL interpreter.
Author Ilya Kaminsky is a hard-of-hearing Ukrainian immigrant whose family was granted political asylum due to anti-semitism. Kaminsky is best known for his poetry collections, including the Deaf Republic, Traveling Musicians, and Dancing in Odessa, which have earned him several awards.
NEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest
