Ever since the appearance of Taras Shevchenko's \u003cem\u003eKobzar\u003c\/em\u003e in 1840, poetry has played an outsized role in Ukrainian culture. \"Our anthology begins: \u003cem\u003eLetters of the alphabet go to war \u003c\/em\u003eand ends with \u003cem\u003eI am writing\/ and all my people are writing\u003c\/em\u003e,\" note the editors of this volume, acclaimed poets Carolyn Forché and Ilya Kaminsky. \"It includes poets whose work is known to thousands of people, who are translated into dozens of languages, as well as those who are relatively unknown in the West.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese poems offer a startling look at the way language both affects and reflects the realities of war and extremity. This anthology is sure to become the classic text marking not only one of the darkest periods in Ukrainian history, but also a significant moment in the universal struggle for democracy and human rights.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 114\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.27 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 01, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51761060086048,"sku":"9798986340180","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/178c5a45552ac959f500fbabfc403857.webp?v=1780198498","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/in-the-hour-of-war-poetry-from-ukraine-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
