Description:
A Violin from the Other Riverside is a dual-language collection by outstanding Ukrainian poet of the post-World War II generation, Dmytro Kremin. Each poem is akin to a dictionary entry on Ukraine composed in complex and intellectually laden, yet colourful and virtuosic, light-footed verse. Kremin proved to be prophetic in his harbingering of Ukraine's martyrdom and glory as the world battlefield of darkness and light.
