Rozlamani lyudy: Ukrainian 2023

The poems in this collection were written before the start of a full-scale invasion, but the war is present there - in silence, fear, a life not lived. The other, with other experiences of resettlement and losses that could not be talked about, that wanted to be erased from memory, but they did not disappear anywhere, worked with their carriers until old age. And she was already opening her mouth to them, trying to tell herself, clumsily, chaotically, at least for someone. These texts are an effort to hear. Record individual words and stories of people, places, and events. Complemented by the author's illustrations, where the real is intertwined with the possible, they create a shaky atmosphere of a familiar world-which-is-disappearing together with old women, women, and ghosts of every generation.
