Whitman in Ukraine

[Nina Shevchuk]

Jan,
  At this point, that would be me. I read Polish decently, and I'm the only person at the archive who could handle transcribing it. Any information you provide is interesting to us. I will copy Dr. Kenneth Price, the Archive co-director on this message -- I'm sure he'll be interested in this as well. Chukovsky mentions at least one Polish translation in his 1919 book, but I'm not at the archive at this moment, and can't tell who it is he mentions. 
  The early translations are always exciting, since they show how Whitman's work entered another literature.
   
  Best,
  Nina

before 1954. I've had some difficulty even establishing the existence of
earlier translations. Does anyone know of any Ukrainian poets translating
Whitman? Does anyone know of any published translations before 1954?

I don't know about the Ukrainian ones, but have some information about an
early unpublished Polish translation. Who is dealing with Polish
translations?

Sincerely,

Jan Zielinski
