This pioneering book is the first to present the postwar phenomenon
of the New York Group of Ukrainian emigre poets as a case study for
exploring cultural and aesthetic ramifications of exile. It focuses
on the poets' diasporic and transnational connections both with
their country of origin and their adopted homelands, underscoring
the group's role in the shaping of the cultural and literary image
of Ukraine abroad. Displacements, forced or voluntary, engender
states of alterity, states of living in-between, living in the
interstices of different cultures and different linguistic
realities. The poetry of the founding members of the New York Group
reflects these states admirably. The poets accepted their exilic
condition with no grudges and nurtured the link with their homeland
via texts written in the mother tongue. This account of the group's
output and legacy will appeal to all those eager to explore the
poetry of East European nations and to those interested in larger
cultural contexts for the development of European modernisms.
