Selected Poems of Oksana Zabuzhko, by Oksana Zabuzhko, is a Ukrainian poetry collection from Ukraine, translated by multiple hands, published by Arrowsmith Press in 2022. It is a Ukrainian selected volume by Oksana Zabuzhko, whose work often joins feminism, national history, intellect, and bodily speech. The poems are valuable because they do not let private life and political life remain neatly separate; they understand how power enters intimacy and memory. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved before it can be felt. Start with the pressure of the title, the texture of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. For this library, the book matters as more than a record of Ukraine; it is an invitation to let poetry remain particular, difficult, and alive without asking it to behave like explanation.

If you’d like to see international poetry continue and gain traction, consider requesting this work from your local library, or purchasing it from places like Open Books (a poetry only bookstore), Asterism Books (an independent press distributor), or bookshop.org to connect you with your local bookstores.
