In 2021, the world commemorates the 80th anniversary of the
massacres of Jews at Babyn Yar. The present collection brings
together for the first time the responses to the tragic events of
September 1941 by Ukrainian Jewish and non-Jewish poets of the
Soviet and post-Soviet periods, presented here in the original and
in English translation by Ostap Kin and John Hennessy. Written
between 1941 and 2018 by over twenty poets, these poems belong to
different literary canons, traditions, and time frames, while their
authors come from several generations. Together, the poems in Babyn
Yar: Ukrainian Poets Respond create a language capable of
portraying the suffering and destruction of the Ukrainian Jewish
population during the Holocaust as well as other peoples murdered
at the site.
A New Orthography by Serhiy Zhadan is the fifth volume in Lost
Horse Press’s Contemporary Ukrainian Poetry Series. In these
poems, the poet focuses on daily life during the Russo-Ukrainian
war, rendering intimate portraits of the country’s residents as
they respond to crisis. Zhadan revives and revises the role of the
nineteenth-century Romantic bard, one who portrays his community
with clarity, preserving its most precious aspects and darkest
nuances. The poems investigate questions of home, exile, solitude,
love, and religious faith, making vivid the experiences of
noncombatants, refugees, soldiers, and veterans. This collection
will be of interest to those who study how poetry observes and
mirrors the shifts within a country during wartime, and it offers
solace as well.
