About Ukraine
We all know what the news tells us about Ukraine. I await an outpouring of poetry and prose about what is happening there. Focus on this was sharpened for me when someone in my office, born in Russia, came to me and apologized (as if she had invaded herself). If you come across prose or poetry that, for you, captures the feelings you have, feel free to share; send it in! Soon I will post a poem I was moved to write; it is not hard to find emotion to charge the written word given what is happening in Europe.
About The Author
Stephen Honig
Stephen Honig has been writing fiction and poetry all his life. The sources of his writings are of course his life experiences: growing up in ethnic New York City; attendance at two alleged bastions of Ivy League erudition; a long career in the law with its attendant exposures to people, business and technology; reading everything eclectic along with alleged classics of the Western canon; wide travel including a gig in the USSR in the ‘70s to bring legal briefs to refuseniks; teaching at three colleges and at a law school in Russia; raising two families in very different generations. Now, Honig has completed his first novel, Event, a thriller combining the international espionage style of John Le Carre with the gripping pace of novels by James Patterson.
