Lito, dity, osinʹ, zyma, viyna i vesna: Ukrainska 2023

Amazingness, boundlessness, imperfection and finiteness of everything human. A special way of growing up that comes with the birth of one's own children, a special view of the world and adulthood through the wide-open eyes of a child. The priceless time together, the time of love, love, hope — and the helplessness of their loss that comes with war. Unquestionable and unconditional love for the universe - a woman, a child, a small town, one's own home, everything that passes, that cannot be returned. "Summer, Children, Autumn, Winter, War and Spring" is a collection of poems, where more than a hundred poems are combined into cycles of stories from places and times about physics and metaphysics, through which, like a boat, life passes. The book was decorated in the finest manner of Chinese porcelain by the Odessa artist Lesya Medvyd, who knows the texts and the author well. Her incredible drawings add atmospheric pressure to the picture of the weather.
