Works by Stepan Rudanskyi brings together the lyrics, humorous verse miniatures, and translations of a poet-physician who died at 34 in Yalta. His "spivomovky" — short, rhythmic humoresques — became his signature: they combine folk intonation with precise comic observation.

Rudanskyi's lyric poetry is infused with longing for his homeland and subtle musicality. Many of his poems became folk songs ("Blow, Wind, Toward Ukraine"). This collection gives a full picture of an author who was little published in his lifetime but became a classic of Ukrainian poetry.
