Forthcoming Ukrainian Issue of International Poetry Review

[ADRIAN J. WANNER]

I am posting this on behalf of my colleague Michael Naydan.  Please address
queries and questions directly to him (mmn3 at psu.edu).

A special bilingual Ukrainian issue of International Poetry Review has gone to
press and will be available shortly in Volume XXXVII, Number 2 of the journal
for Fall 2010. The journal is edited by Mark Smith-Soto at the University of
North Carolina at Greensboro and is dedicated to  founding editor Evalyn
Pierpoint Gill's idea that "the world will be a better place as we cross
language barriers to hear the voice of the poet in different countries."
The special issue is one of the largest in the history of the journal 
and was made possible by generous support from the Shevchenko Scientific 
Society's Ivan and Elizabeta Khlopetsky Fund. The cover design includes 
a painting by Ukrainian artist from Lutsk Mykola Kumanovsky.

The issue is edited by Michael M. Naydan, Woskob Family Professor of 
Ukrainian Studies at The Pennsylvania State University, who provides a 
brief introduction, and includes 47 poems by 22 poets who have emerged 
over the past 25 years of creative freedom in Ukraine. The volume is 
dedicated to three Ukrainian poets who tragically died in recent years 
-- Ihor Rymaruk, Nazar Honchar and Attila Mohylny. Other poets 
represented in the volume include Oleh Lysheha, Natalka Bilotserkivets, 
Oksana Zabuzhko, Vasyl Herasymiuk, Viktor Neborak, Ivan Malkovych, Yuri 
Andrukhovych, Serhiy Zhadan, Vasyl Makhno, Kost Moskalets, Ludmyla 
Taran, Maria Rewakowicz, Maryana Savka, Oles Ilchenko, Borys 
Shchavursky, Hanna Osadko, Mariya Tytarenko, Iryna Shuvalova, and 
Bohdana Matiyash and range in age from 24 to 62. Translators include 
Mark Andryczyk, Svitlana Bednazh, Larysa Bobrova, James Brasfield, Sarah 
Luczaj, Dzvinia Orlowsky, Orest Popovych, Olha Tytarenko, the team of 
Virlana Tkacz and Wanda Phipps, and Michael Naydan.

The issue can be purchased directly through the journal's website when 
it becomes available:
