New York Elegies
Ukrainian poets connected themselves to a powerful myth of New York, the myth of urban modernity and problematic vitality.

By adding new voices and layers to this amalgam, it is possible to observe the expanded picture of this worldly poetic city.

Quiet Spiders of the Hidden Soul
This bilingual Ukrainian-English collection brings together the
most interesting experimental works by Mykola (Nik) Bazhan, one of
the major Ukrainian poets of the twentieth century. As he moved
from futurism to neoclassicism, symbolism to socialist realism,
Bazhan consistently displayed a creative approach to theme,
versification, and vocabulary. Many poems from his three remarkable
early collections (1926, 1927, and 1929) remain unknown to readers,
both in Ukraine and the West. Because Bazhan was later forced into
the straitjacket of officially sanctioned socialist realism, his
early poetry has been neglected. This collection makes these
outstanding works available for the first time.

Young Jewish Poets Who Fell as Soviet Soldiers in the Second World War
This book deals with the work of fifteen young Jewish poets who were killed, died of wounds, or were executed in captivity while serving in the Red Army in the Second World War. All were young, all were poets, most were thoroughly assimilated into Soviet society whilst at the same time being rooted in Jewish culture and traditions. Their poetry, written mostly in Russian, Yiddish, and Ukrainian, was coloured by their backgrounds, by the literary and cultural climate that prevailed in the Soviet Union, and was deeply concerned with their expectation of impending death at the hands of the Nazis.
The book examines the poets' backgrounds, their lives, their poetry and their deaths. Like the experiences and poetry of the British First World War poets, the lives and poems of these young Jewish poets are extremely interesting and deeply moving.

Words for War
The armed conflict in the east of Ukraine brought about an emergence of a distinctive trend in contemporary Ukrainian poetry: the poetry of war. Directly and indirectly, the poems collected in this volume engage with the events and experiences of war, reflecting on the themes of alienation, loss, dislocation, and disability; as well as justice, heroism, courage, resilience, generosity, and forgiveness. In addressing these themes, the poems also raise questions about art, politics, citizenship, and moral responsibility. The anthology brings together some of the most compelling poetic voices from different regions of Ukraine. Young and old, female and male, somber and ironic, tragic and playful, filled with extraordinary terror and ordinary human delights, the voices recreate the human sounds of war in its tragic complexity.
