description
lyna Kruk's unpublished work from the immediate "pre-invasion" years when life in Ukraine was marked by turmoil but full-scale war was not yet normalized. In these "dear poems that don't pain [her] like those about the war do," Kruk uses imagery and tone to underscore poetic agency, at times juxtaposing figurative language with a calm, direct voice to bring her poems to life. Nature cannot be relied on to sustain nor renew, and life is shown to be fundamentally vulnerable. "Calm" is a seductive state of mind capable of cunning, and the speaker is unable to find a place where she can thrive or grow. Still, daily tasks emerge as life-affirming and a welcome constant. It is ultimately a movement toward survival that drives the immediacy and urgency of Kruk's poetry. Lost in Living is the sixteenth volume in the Lost Horse Press Contemporary Poetry Series.
