Translated by Dmytro Kyyan and Kate Tsurkan
Khrystia Vengryniuk’s Long Eyes is a collection of poems that guides us through the labyrinths of loneliness, where pain drifts like the wind and voices fade yet still echo on the edges of silence. It is both a confession that pours forth like rain from the heavens and a lingering hallucination that refuses to release its grip upon having subsided. Though these poems mark some of the author’s earliest work, their impact remains undiminished, speaking uncompromisingly to the madness of our current world. Volume 18 in the Lost Horse Press Contemporary Ukrainian Poetry Series. Bilingual Edition.
