Poet Salam Sarvan in Prestigious Kyiv National Linguistic University
The Kyiv National Linguistics University hosted a meeting with the notable Azerbaijani poet Salam Sarvan. The event shared the poet's work, in particular the book titled The World Is So Shallow to Drown in It (“І потонути неможливо, неглибокий цей світ”) in Ukrainian translation, published in Kyiv last year and generated reader interest across Ukraine. The meeting moderator Marina Goncharuk, the Executive Secretary of the Azerbaijan State Translation Centre (AzSTC) for Ukraine projects, spoke about the publications - An Anthology of Modern Ukrainian Poetry published in Baku and An Anthology of Azerbaijani Poetry published in Kyiv - as the Centre’s contribution to the development of literary ties between the two countries.
