| Summary: | 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, they all have gone deaf and their dissent becomes coordinated by sign language. The story follows the private lives of townspeople encircled by public violence. At once a love story, an elegy and an urgent plea, these poems confronts our time's vicious atrocities and our collective silence in the face of them. |
