More learning experience in Manhattan. This time it is Bryant Park, which I visited many times before when I was researching at the NYU. My favorite spot was the Public Library, which I’m glad to see again functioning perfectly. Living in Leningrad I also made the Russian Public Library my second home, where I made several good friends. It looks like i can show you finally some new pics from the Bryant Park Japanese KOI, where we stopped for Green Tea.

In this clip you will learn about Tat M’s professional career as a literary critic and journalist prior to founding her samizdat which included poetry translations from male poets but censorship of her own poetry. This censorship was certainly a motivating factor for Tat M to create an offer an independent forum for Russian speaking women’s voices and she included some of her poetry in the samizdat.

You will also be treated to some of the extraordinary early poetry in Russian written by Tat M. More of her poetry will be shared in other clips and you will see an evolution in her poetry both in message and in language as she has been traveling the world post exile.
