S. Eliot Prize • Finalist for the Forward Prize for Best Collection Ilya Kaminsky’s astonishing parable in poems asks us, What is silence? Deaf Republic opens in an occupied country in a time of political unrest. When soldiers breaking up a protest kill a deaf boy, Petya, the gunshot becomes the last thing the citizens hear—they all have gone deaf, and their dissent becomes coordinated by sign language. The story follows the private lives of townspeople encircled by public violence: a newly married couple, Alfonso and Sonya, expecting a child; the brash Momma Galya, instigating the insurgency from her puppet theater; and Galya’s girls, heroically teaching signing by day and by night luring soldiers one by one to their deaths behind the curtain. At once a love story, an elegy, and an urgent plea, Ilya Kaminsky’s long-awaited Deaf Republic confronts our time’s vicious atrocities and our collective silence in the face of them.
Ilya Kaminsky was born in the former Soviet Union. He is the author of a poetry collection, Dancing in Odessa , and coeditor of The Ecco Anthology of International Poetry . He was a 2014 finalist for the Neustadt International Prize for Literature.
レビュー

Never received
I love Ilya, but I never received this order nor a refund.

Difficult to review
I bought this solely because it was on my book club's reading list. It is very well-written (for which I would give it 4-5 stars), but it depressed the hell out of me, so the three-star review is really just a compromise reflecting the bleak spot I found myself in after reading. If you're looking for a book to leave you completely disillusioned with humanity and the world, this should be right up your alley.

Resonancias de bertold brecht
Un grito de denuncia desesperada, donde el logro humano mas preciado, el lenguaje, se troza para recluirse hacia dentro en el silencio que niega a olvidar la violencia despiadada, quedando en los escombros de la resistencia algunos signos y titeres que siguen contando la historia de un pueblo reducido a polvo por el miedo y el recuerdo imboŕrable de sus muertos.

Incredible
This book somehow manages to speak of our times. One to return to.

The power of words. The power of refusing them...
Few poets bring me to my knees. Few poets inspire me to publicly proclaim that they'll go down in history as influential. Page after page, visceral images holding the potential to gut you will instead make you weep with gratitude. Ilya shows us the power of human silence through a profound understanding of the silence between his own words on the page. His art probes the spaces between the very notes forming the musicality of all our shared heartbeats and invites us to truly consider them. This book is like an exquisite painting. Every time you return to it, you discover more texture, more illumination, deeper layers of profundity. And you love and respect it all the more.

Poète génial
Poète de génie, je recommande.

Taubheit als Widerstand
"We lived happily during the war"- Dieser Vers kommt einem beim ersten Lesen grausam-absurd vor und doch trifft er auf die Bewohner der okkupierten Stadt Vasenka zu. Sie sind "glücklich", weil sie sich haben, gemeinsam Widerstand leisten, sich durch Zeichen ihrer Solidarität versichern, lieben und Kinder zeugen.
