Irina Muravyova

Irina Muravyova is a Russia émigré writer whose poetry, essays, and fiction have been published in numerous “thick” journals in Russia and the U.S. Muravyova’s recent novel The Angel’s Day covers three generations of Russian émigrés, drawing on favorite themes of family and history; her Young Lady, a Bunin Prize finalist, takes place in the early twentieth century. Muravyova’s 2012 novel, Beatrice’s Reflection, borrows from Dante’s life in its depiction of love at first sight.
