&#;Literature&#;s timeless quality is as relevant today as it was yesterday.&#; Meet Askold Melnyczuk: A literary bridge between cultures and continents
Born in Irvington, New Jersey, Askold Melnyczuk is an accomplished writer whose roots trace back to Ukraine, where his parents sought refuge after fleeing the turmoil of World War II. Their journey from a refugee camp in Germany to the United States and the cinematographically bright stories he grew up with shaped the power of his storytelling.
Melnyczuk&#;s novels, &#;What Is Told,&#; &#;Ambassador of the Dead,&#; &#;House of Widows,&#; and &#;The Man Who Would Not Bow,&#; weave intricate narratives that explore the human experience through a unique lens.

Prayer of Origin
Pinochet, a close reader

Try being a river.

Leaping across the highway
And I will be the lost horses
Of Ipswich, and the marshes
On Plum Island in a drizzle
And the easel
On which the sky rested.
And our first kiss.
And our last.
