About the book: 1982 / V. N. Sosyura (1898–1965) - an outstanding poet of Soviet Ukraine, laureate of the State Prize, who has written more than fifty books of poetry and about fifty poems. A singer of the heroics of the Civil War, the author of fiery patriotic works about the Great Patriotic War, Sosyura is also known as a subtle, soulful lyricist. The folk-song musicality of the verse, the graceful chasing of the lines, the plastic expressiveness of the images are characteristic features of the poet’s talent. This edition is superior in its completeness to previous editions of Sosyura’s poems in Russian. Many of the poet’s works were translated for the first time for this collection..
