He is best-known for his poetry collections Dancing in Odessa and Deaf Republic, which have earned him several awards. [Extract source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilya_Kaminsky) In this book Ilya writes about deafness as a form of dissent against tyranny and violence. Deaf Republic opens in an occupied country in a time of political unrest. When soldiers breaking up a protest kill a deaf boy, Petya, the gunshot becomes the last thing the citizens hear — all have gone deaf, and their dissent becomes coordinated by sign language. -The story follows the private lives of townspeople encircled by public violence: a newly married couple, Alfonso and Sonya, expecting a child; the brash Momma Galya, instigating the insurgency from her puppet theater; and Galya’s girls; day and by night luring soldiers one by one to their deaths behind the curtain. At once a love story, an elegy, and an urgent plea, Deaf Republic confronts our time’s vicious atrocities and our collective silence in the face of them. -([https://www.graywolfpress.org/books/deaf-republic](https://www.graywolfpress.org/books/deaf-republic)) +The story follows the private lives of townspeople encircled by public violence: a newly married couple, Alfonso and Sonya, expecting a child; the brash Momma Galya, instigating the insurgency from her puppet theater; and Galya’s girls; day and by night luring soldiers one by one to their deaths behind the curtain.
