Dear Ukraine at the Washington National Cathedral
In recognition of the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Wick Poetry Center is pleased to announce the installation of the Dear Ukraine global community poem exhibit in the Washington National Cathedral’s Center for Prayer and Pilgrimage. The Dear Ukraine installation offers visitors an opportunity to view poems from around the world on the chapel walls and to share their voice in response the unfolding atrocities of the war against Ukraine and its people.

DEAR UKRAINE ON VIEW
Dear Ukraine at Hendrix College
Dear Ukraine: A Global Community Poem offers an inclusive, participatory, and empathetic way to bear witness from our varying degrees of distance and relation to the war against Ukraine through the imaginative language of poetry. Participants read the model poem by Dr. Dasbach and then follow prompts to submit their own responses, which can be submitted and translated into English, Ukrainian, Russian, and Polish in order to be read by those in war-torn regions. Bringing a “Dear Ukraine” installation to Hendrix and housing it in the Windgate Museum surrounded by an exhibit of art by poets from Ukraine will engage Hendrix students to respond through language as well as open this response to the wider community.
