Lost in Living

Beschreibung

Lost in Living presents Halyna Kruk's unpublished work from the immediate "pre-invasion" years when life in Ukraine was marked by turmoil but full-scale war was not yet normalized. In these "dear poems that don't pain [her] like those about the war do," Kruk uses imagery and tone to underscore poetic agency, at times juxtaposing figurative language with a calm, direct voice to bring her poems to life.
