Sometimes compared to Walt Whitman and Dylan Thomas, Antonych, who described himself as \"an ecstatic pagan, a poet of the high of spring,\" created during his brief lifetime powerful and innovative poetry with astonishing metaphorical constructions. Born in the Lemko region of Poland, Antonych adopted Ukrainian as his literary language when he moved to Lviv, and virtually transformed the Ukrainian poetic landscape. This essential collection introduces Antonych's work to new audiences, and includes a biographical sketch by the translator and a comprehensive introduction by Lidia Stefanowska, one of the world's leading experts on this remarkable poet. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBOHDAN IHOR ANTONYCH (1909-37) was an early twentieth-century Lemko-Ukrainian poet.
