Selected Poetry of Bohdan Rubchak, by Bohdan Rubchak, is a Ukrainian poetry collection from Ukraine, translated by Michael M. Naydan, Svitlana Budzhak-Jones, published by Glagoslav Publications in 2020. It is a Ukrainian selected volume shaped by diaspora, modernist inheritance, and the metaphysical pressures of language. Rubchak’s poems belong to a literature of distance, where country is not only territory but a set of sounds, losses, and intensities kept alive abroad. 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.
