Юры Гумянюк (1969–2013) 

Нас не сустрэнуць ніколі нябёсы.
Мы пацячэм з вышыні шэрых гмахаў —
цалкам жывыя, светлавалосыя,
белыя вязні нязвыклага страху.

Быццам дажджынкі ў калюжынах нафты,
створым дзяржаву сапраўдных каханкаў.
Хай пазайздросцяць нам Хлоя і Дафніс,
нават спірытус у бацькавай шклянцы.

Нас не заўважаць сівыя пачвары,
мы абмінем па чарзе габінеты,
каб павыцягваць мільёны сакрэтаў,
у неба даслаць запаветныя мары.

(Прызначэнне, 1992)

Jury Gumjanjuk

Inga stjärnor möter oss.

Vi strömmar ner från de grå skyskrapornas höjder –

fulla av liv, med ljusa lockar,

en obekant rädslas vita fångar.

Som regndroppar i en oljefläck

skapar vi sant älskande ett rike.

Låt Daphnis och Chloë avundas oss,

ja, också anden i faderns bägare.

De grå vidundren varsnar oss inte,

en efter en slinker vi förbi kontoren,

för att utvinna miljoner av hemligheter

och fyra av de älskade drömmarna mot himlen.

(Översättning från belarusiska till svenska av Nils Håkanson)

Bok & Bild 18-19 oktober 2013: Belarus goes Luleå!

Många möten i Luleå när vi var där senast – november 2011.

I november 2011 besökte Litteraturresan/Belarus Luleå och Kulturens Hus. Det blev en verkligt fin kväll med författarna Valeryja Kustava, Uladzimir Arlou och Vera Burlak! Kerstin Wixe var konferencier för kvällen. Karl Petersen, kommunalråd, höll ett fint inledande tal.

Nu ska vi åter inta Kulturens Hus! Det äger rum den 18-19 oktober 2013.

Planeringen för årets stora fest för bilden och berättandet är i gång och vår kontaktperson är Jan Olofsson.

Dzimitry Strotsau, Minsk, kommer till Luleå.

Musikern och författaren Daniel Wikslund kommer.
Han är med på årets Litteraturresa i Lviv, Ukraina, den 16-19 maj. En av dem som var med på den allra första poesikvällen i Pinsk 2002 var Dzimitry Strotsau. Han är en hyllad poet i Belarus och turnérar mycket. 

Lars Pettersson, aktuell med boken ”Kautokeino, en blodig kniv”, deltar. Han har fått Deckarakademins debutantpris för en roman som ”skottar djupt” (Dagens Nyheters formulering) i den nordnorska samiska kulturen.

Fler namn kommer! Vi väntar på svar från belarusiska författare.
Gör en markering i almanackan redan nu.
