Wind from Mars. Lina Kostenko

Lina Kostenko's new book "Wind from Mars" is the latest, as well as previously unpublished poems, covering the period from the beginnings of Independence to today's war. From the previously published one - the section "Briefly - as a diagnosis" and individual poems mainly from the war cycle. In this book, tragic prophecies and piercing tenderness, merciless aphoristic scans of political realities and nostalgic dimensions of human existence intersect in a unique emotional synthesis. The current war is seen not only as a criminal fact of historical barbarity, but as a global threat to the planet.

"Wind from Mars" is a unique map of Ukraine in the soul of the Poet - a Ukraine that is sick, but unconquered and free, with its spiritual borders that exist beyond Time.
