On 9 November 2024, the Library of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute hosted a warm and inspiring meeting of our students with the famous Ukrainian poet, prose writer, singer, translator, and military man Serhiy Zhadan.
The author read his new poems and time-tested poems that have long been loved by the audience and have supported and inspired them in difficult times. Serhiy Zhadan presented more than 20 collections of his poems to KPI students. After the poetry readings, the poet continued informal communication, took selfies together and signed autographs.
We are extremely grateful for the initiative and assistance in organising the meeting to Oleksandr Kamyshyn, a graduate of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, statesman, Minister of Strategic Industries of Ukraine (2023-2024).
We would like to thank Mr Kamyshyn for donating literature to the readers of the KPI Library: more than 70 books by contemporary Ukrainian writers. This is the voice of Ukrainians, our identity and invincibility. We believe that reading gives strength and inspiration to our community.
