Ilya Kaminsky reached a global audience with the publication of “Deaf Republic”; the BBC named him “one of the 12 artists that changed the world in 2019.” Kaminsky, winner of an Anisfield-Wolf Book Award in poetry this year, will discuss his art, his heritage, and his insight that disabilities can be “a political position for advocacy for us all,” in conversation with Alexandria M. Romanovich of Cuyahoga Community College.

Tickets to the event are free and open to the public as part of the Global Cleveland Sister Cities Conference.
