The Raspberry's Eyelash
£9.99
Add to cart
The first ever artistic translation of Tychyna's poetry in the tradition of Robert Lowell. The book's extraordinary power was noted by John Gosslee, editor of Fjords Arts and Literary Review, who said, "Komarnyckyj's attentive treatment of Tychyna's poems reads like a symphony. The transcendent ideals of a twentieth-century poet's struggle during Eastern Europe's transition into Communism are channelled through Komarnyckyj's keen ear. Tychyna's themes are adapted to an English audience through a patient sensitivity to word choice with a rhythm that makes the poems resonate long after they have been read."

A selection of Pavlo Tychyna's poems in Ukrainian and in Stephen Komarnyckyj's impressionistic English translations, which capture the power and beauty of the original. The book also includes a foreword and an interview with the translator.
