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. 410 0$aUkrainian studies (Boston, Mass.) 606 $aWar poetry, Ukrainian$vTranslations into English 606 $aAnti-war poetry, Ukrainian$vTranslations into English 606 $aWar and literature$zUkraine 606 $aPOETRY / Russian & Former Soviet Union$2bisacsh 606 $aHISTORY / Europe / Eastern$2bisacsh 610 $aALEKSANDR KABANOV. 610 $aANASTASIA AFANASIEVA. 610 $aBORIS KHERSONSKY. 610 $aBORYS HUMENYUK. 610 $aDonbass. 610 $aHALYNA KRUK. 610 $aIlya Kaminsky. 610 $aKATERYNA KALYTKO. 610 $aLYUBA YAKIMCHUK. 610 $aLYUDMYLA KHERSONSKA. 610 $aMARIANNA KIYANOVSKA. 610 $aMARJANA SAVKA. 610 $aOKSANA LUTSYSHYNA. 610 $aOSTAP SLYVYNSKY. 610 $aRussia. 610 $aSERHIY ZHADAN. 610 $aUkraine. 610 $aVASYL HOLOBORODKO. 610 $aVASYL MAKHNO. 610 $aYURI IZDRYK. 610 $aabsurdism. 610 $aanthology. 610 $aart. 610 $acollection. 610 $acontemporary. 610 $ahuman rights. 610 $aimagery. 610 $airony. 610 $amodern literature. 610 $apoems. 610 $apoetry. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apost-Soviet. 610 $apostmodernism. 610 $atragedy. 610 $atranslation. 610 $awar. 615 0$aWar poetry, Ukrainian 615 0$aAnti-war poetry, Ukrainian 615 0$aWar and literature 615 7$aPOETRY / Russian & Former Soviet Union. 615 7$aHISTORY / Europe / Eastern. 676 $a891.7/91080358 686 $aKL 5110$2rvk 702 $aMaksymchuk$b Oksana, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt. 702 $aRosochinsky$b Max, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt. 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796409903321 996 $aWords for War$93727883 997 $aUNINA
