A searing testament to poetry’s power to define and defy
injustice, from iconic writer-activist Serhiy Zhadan  Since
the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, the Ukrainian poet Serhiy
Zhadan has brought international attention to his country’s
struggle through his unflinching poetry of witness. In this searing
testament to poetry’s power to define and defy injustice, Zhadan
honors the memory of the lost and addresses the living, inviting us
to consider what language can offer to a country threatened with
extinction. Young lovers, marginalized outsiders, and ordinary
citizens pulse with life in a composite portrait of a people newly
unified by extremity. Even in the midst of enemy fire, Zhadan’s
lyrical monuments beat with a subterranean thrum of hope. Â
With a foreword by the poet Ilya Kaminsky, this selection of
Zhadan’s poetry, forged entirely in wartime, is an homage to the
Ukrainian people, a forceful reckoning with the violence of the
past and present, and an act of artistic imagination that breaks
with trauma and charts a new future for Ukraine.
