Poetry. Translated from the Ukranian by Svitlana Bednazh, Gladys Evans, Michael M. Naydan, Dzvinia Orlowsky, Mary Skrypnyk, Aliona Sydorenko, Martha B. Trofimenko, and Walter May. Edited with an introduction by Michael M. Naydan. "In the tradition of poet-statesmen Neruda and Seferis, Pavlychko writes about his twin passions, love and history. Courageous, direct, and plainspoken, he has long deserved a place on the international literary stage and Michael Naydan's skillfully edited selections should confirm it."—Askold Melnyczuk
