The essential poetry of Bohdan Ihor Antonych, translated by Michael M. Naydan and connected in the metadata to Bucknell University Press, gives English-language readers a concentrated entrance into a major Ukrainian poet. The word “essential” always has a bit of audacity to it, but in this case it signals a useful gathering. Antonych’s work is often associated with nature, mythic imagination, song, and a luminous sense of the world as alive. The poems do not need to be read as national representation first, though they matter deeply within Ukrainian literature. Start with their green intensity, their music, their feeling that the natural world is not background but kin. This is a book of rootedness and radiance.
