Synopsis: Anyuta's Journey
Beyond my anxiety, beyond this writing,
the universe waits, inexhaustible, inviting.
Borges
“Poem Written in a Copy of Beowulf”
This is the tale of the many journeys in the life of a woman born at the start of the 20th Century. She grows up in a small Russian/Ukrainian village, then flees from pogroms and oppression to create a new life and family in America. Anyuta’s experience of the Great Depression and her own tragic descent into madness are chronicled in the pages of this gripping story.
