In his poem “an evening (goose) pastoral,” Ivan Malkovych sets white geese against the backdrop of the encroaching darkness of evening.

[...]the performance of their poetry on stage enabled the Bubabists not only to adhere to their theoretical literary credos of polyphony and carnival, but also to bring their ideas to life before a real audience. According to these poems, a rock star is a kind of god who can command the masses: his long hair signifies freedom, and his music has the power to transform the world and liberate its inhabitants.11 It is not surprising that in his poetry of the late 1980s Neborak turned to the rock star. According to Riabchuk, the Bubabists accomplished this by \"transforming evenings of poetry into theatrical shows with effective personal recitations, good direction, and the appropriate inclusion of popular rock groups.
