Paperback. The first comprehensive English-language collection of one of the most important voices in contemporary Ukrainian literature, a collection of poems about the region's history of violence as seen through geography, myth, and city life.The first comprehensive English-language collection of one of the most important voices in contemporary Ukrainian literature, a collection of poems about the region's history of violence as seen through geography, myth, and city life.Yuri Andrukhovych is one of the most compelling and influential contemporary Ukrainian writers, the author of a body of work that ranges from the novel to the essay to poetry and that stands out in every genre for being thoughtful, playful, free-spirited, and astonishingly new. His career took off in the waning years of the Soviet Union, when underground artists and writers and the rumbles of rock music coming from abroad all helped to bring the walls of the sclerotic Communist empire tumbling down.Set Change draws on the poetry Andrukhovych wrote in the eighties and nineties, before he turned his attention to prose. The collection shows him beginning on a quest to represent and do justice to Ukraine's long history of violence. He explores the overlapping and shifting borders of Eastern Europe while also venturing into realms of fantasy and myth. Again and again, he returns to the idea of the city as a space of carnivalesque disguise and discovery. Drawing on the rich resources of Ukrainian literature, from the amplitude of the baroque to the austerely powerful configurations of the lost modernist generation, Andrukhovych's poems are ironic and elegiac, witty and allusive, lyrical, experimental, and political. As translated into English by John Hennessy and Ostap Kin, they offer readers a powerfully transformative vision of the place of poetry in a fractured world.This bilingual edition includes the original Ukrainian versions of each poem. "This is an original selection of poems. It includes poems from Yuri's three poetry collections -- Sky and Squares (Nebo i ploshchi; 1985), Downtown (Seredmistia; 1989), Exotic Birds and Plants (Ekzotychni ptakhy i roslyny; 1991) -- and two cycles, "India" (India) and "Letters to Ukraine" (Lysty v Ukraine)"-- Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…

Yuri Andrukhovych, one of the most significant voices in contemporary Ukrainian literature, began his career as a poet, producing three collections and two separately published poem cycles in the 1980s and ’90s, the late Soviet and early post-Soviet period, a time of great political change and artistic revolution. Set Change: Selected Poems presents for the first time in English comprehensive selections from all three collections and both cycles.
In modern Ukrainian letters, Andrukhovych occupies a position similar to the literary giant Nikolai Gogol. While his influence is broad and significant, he is constantly reinventing himself as a writer: His work represents everything playful, free-spirited, and new, and epitomizes all the most original aspects of Ukrainian literature.
The poems collected here showcase the poet’s prolonged quest for a representation of—and response to—the region’s history of violence. In this quest Andrukhovych explores various settings and themes of geography, investigates the shifting borders of eastern Europe, and invokes a gamut of myths and fantastical elements set in the territory of present-day Ukraine.
The cornerstone of his poems is a deep fascination with the idea of the city. Andrukhovych’s vivid descriptions lend themselves to his investigations of the carnivalesque and the grotesque, two of the city’s most significant aspects. His deep interest in the baroque, his obsession with verbal play and irony, the elegiac mode, the many hidden as well as overt allusions to other literary works and writers, and his need for textual experimentation are the elements that make his poems arresting, timely, and perpetually fascinating.
The poems in Set Change are translated by the award-winning duo of Ostap Kin and John Hennessy, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
