Antonych’s "Selected Works" is a true literary hallucinogen, where Lemko magic blends with the energy of the modern city.
What will captivate the reader:
A magical universe: Here, foxes pray to the stars, the sun is a golden nut, and the poet himself is a beetle living on cherry trees. This is Ukrainian fantasy in poetry.
Contrast: From the sun-drenched pagan mountains to the gloomy, iron-gray Lviv with its gasoline, prostitutes, and night bars.
Explosive Metaphors: Every line is a ready-made quote or a vivid scene for a movie. Antonych sees the world not as an ordinary person, but as a mystic.
Music: The poems have such a powerful rhythm that you want to read them aloud, like a spell.
