Kyivsky Waltz a love story

KS started writing Kyivsky Waltz in 2014, at the start of Ukraine's Revolution of Dignity (a.k.a. the Maidan Revolution), to answer the question she was asked more and more as the invasion grew into the monstrosity it has become: why did she love Ukraine so much? Kyivsky Waltz is a hybrid chapbook that uses poetry and artwork to tell the story of how KS experienced Ukraine from 1994 to 1996: arriving at 22, alone, completely lost and unable to communicate, yet somehow managing to find a home and people to love in a new nation with an old history. All of the author's proceeds will be donated to Razom, a nonprofit organization committed to raising funds for Ukrainian humanitarian aid.
