Amid the devastation of war, Ukrainian poetry has not fallen silent. On the contrary, it continues to speak with clarity, courage, and urgency.
This collection brings together the voices of twelve Ukrainian women poets who write during a time of national catastrophe. Their poems give shape to grief, longing, anger, tenderness, and the fierce will to live. Some, written far from the battlefield and haunted by it, reflect on separation, uncertainty, loss, love, and defiance. Others, written on the battlefield itself, give us a unique and personal perspective on war rarely encountered in any language.
These voices form a powerful chorus against erasure, and preserve a vital part of Ukrainian literary culture during a critical moment in the history of the country, of Europe, and the world.
The fifty unforgettable poems in this illustrated anthology also remind us of the enduring beauty of the human spirit in times of horror and grief.
