Nina Kossman's work is animated by an interest in history and bilingualism. A writer and painter, she has exhibited her paintings internationally, and her writing has been published in a dozen languages, including French, Italian, Greek, Hebrew, Spanish, Danish, Dutch, German, Persian, Chinese, Bengali, and Japanese. She is the author of 12 books, spanning poetry, short prose, children's poetry, an anthology she edited for Oxford University Press, two volumes of translations of Marina Tsvetaeva's poetry, and a novel. Her English-language work has appeared in over ninety magazines and anthologies and has been translated into twelve languages. Her plays have been produced in the US, the UK, and Australia. She has received a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, grants from the Onassis Foundation, the Foundation for Hellenic Culture, and Fundación Valparaíso, as well as the now-defunct UNESCO/PEN Short Story Award. She is a founding editor of EastWest Literary Forum, a bilingual magazine. Born in the former Soviet Union, she now lives in New York.
