Other things
by Yurko Izdryk
Description
Yurko Izdryk’s poetry has an extraordinary optical effect as if he talks to you eye to eye reaching deep into your soul. The poems touch on such a level that you can find yourself inside them, and after all, inside the poet’s or lyrical hero’s life, living it as your own because it is so real. This personal touch is known in Ukraine as the phenomenon of Izdryk. Regardless of the phenomenon’s variating tonality – sometimes softly lyrical or harshly ironic, it remains native, yours, reflected by you. In addition to poems, there are also poet’s collages, “other things” that appear in words and pictures, thereby creating the body of one single object - the book as an artifact of life.
