GRONINGEN MANUSCRIPT
For World Poetry Day, Audiostories presents an audio collection of poems "The Groningen Manuscript", read by the author Iryna Starovoit. We invite you to listen.
The sound recording in the studio took place in the fall of 2022, when Irina Starovoit and I were able to accomplish what we planned in one evening. So that today, March 21, World Poetry Day, you could hear poems from the collection, which was published in the first month of the war in 2014 by the Stary Lev publishing house. The poems were sung by the author's voice and we believe that they will resonate in a new way in the difficult year of 2023, when we all need strength and faith to fight together for the Victory of Ukraine over the Moscow occupier. At the beginning of the audio collection, you will hear three poems from outside the Groningen Manuscript collection, which were written already at the time of the full-scale invasion.
"I have always been interested in listening to poets read their poems. I have always thought that poetry has a lot to do with music, that poetry is understood almost without translation if you read it carefully. Because there is emotion here , there is harmony here, there is rhythm here, there is a drive transmitted from the voice to the ear than when we look at letters printed on paper."
