Golynko was an accomplished St. Petersburg-based poet and translator and a contributing editor of Moscow Art Magazine. He had written articles for numerous Russian- and English-language literature publications and, in 2008, Ugly Duckling Presse released an English translation of his book As it Turned Out. During his ArtsLink residency, he worked on a new collection of poems for publication, gave lectures on contemporary Russian poetry and evaluated the social dimension of poetry in the US.

With great sadness we learned that Dmitry Golynko passed away in December 2022.
