“No matter where I go,” Pepi says with a smile, “the city that birthed me never truly lets me leave. It’s in my sentences, in my silences, and in the way I listen to the world.”
Ultimately, to write "Pepi Litman, born in a city in Ukraine" is to write a small history of the 20th century. It is a story of empires that drew borders through people’s backyards, of a culture so vibrant it could survive the destruction of its physical home, and of an artist whose power came not from a nation-state, but from a vanished town square. In her songs, the Ukraine of her birth is not a battlefield or a political headline. It is a lullaby. And as long as her recordings survive, the Jewish soul of Ternopil will never be silent.
Pepi’s upcoming project, a multilingual anthology gathering voices from both banks of the Dnipro River, aims to showcase the evolving Ukrainian diaspora. The collection will feature contributions from poets in Kyiv, Lviv, New York, Toronto, and Melbourne, highlighting how a single river can inspire a multitude of narratives.
In 2022, as the conflict in Ukraine escalated, Pepi used his platform to launch the “Words of War” initiative. The project invited displaced Ukrainians to submit poems, diary entries, and short stories that captured the lived reality of war. The submissions, later compiled into a bilingual anthology, were distributed to libraries and schools across Europe and North America, preserving voices that might otherwise have been lost.
Plans are already underway to expand Litman Lit into a full‑scale publishing house, focusing on translated works and original English‑language manuscripts by Ukrainian authors. With a growing network of literary agents, translators, and cultural institutions, Pepi envisions a future where Ukrainian literature holds a permanent place on global bestseller lists.
