Description

Apricots of Donbas is a bilingual collection of poetry by Lyuba Yakimchuk, born and raised in a small coal-mining town in Ukraine's industrial east. The poems reflect her complex emotional experiences, ranging from sumptuous verses about the urgency of desire in a war-torn city to playful imitations of childlike babbling about military combat. This unique blend of artfulness and authenticity offers intimate glimpses into the story of a woman affected by a life-altering situation beyond her control. Yakimchuk's poetry is a distinctive response to the challenges she faced, evoking the legacy of the Ukrainian Futurists of the 1920s. The poems' versatility and emotional depth make them a compelling read, inviting the reader to explore the complexities of war, identity, and human experience. Through her poetry, Yakimchuk shares her story, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. This bilingual edition, published by Lost Horse Press, makes her powerful voice accessible to readers in English.
