Event Details
Join us for a delightful afternoon and book launch, All the Bad Girls Wear Russian Accents, with poet and artist Jane Muschenetz. All the Bad Girls Wear Russian Accents is her first collection.
Written with humor and heart during the pandemic and the Russian invasion of her home country of Ukraine, Jane’s debut poetry chapbook is a poetic exploration of life as an outsider, our fraught relationship with societal norms, and our common humanity.
Light refreshments served. Please scroll down to register.
Ukrainian-born, Russian-speaking Jew, Jane (Yevgenia!) Muschenetz was granted asylum in San Diego as a refugee from the USSR when she was 10 years old. Today, she is a fully-grown MIT nerd, emerging writer, artist, and mom. Selected by the City of Encinitas as a 2023 Exhibiting Artist, Jane’s work has been recognized with several awards, including first place at the LSAG Annual Art Show. In 2022, Jane won the Good Life Review Poetry Prize and was shortlisted for the Jacar Press Chapbook Prize. Visit HERE to connect with Jane and her work.
