Table of ContentsReviews'I am grateful for Maksymchuk's radical honesty, for her willingness to take me to her homeland, to its lit display cabinets filled with cakes, its candied pinecones, the lushness of its flowers, its classrooms filled with children, so that I can begin to understand the brutality of its violation.' - Diane Seuss;'Oksana Maksymchuk is someone whose work I have known and admired for years, and yet nothing prepared me for her new book. There is terrifying restraint in these poems of war wherein realism becomes a song, realism becomes hallucination, realism is a naked nerve set to a tune. Terrifying, yes, but necessary. Still City is an important book.' - Ilya Kaminsky Author InformationOksana Maksymchuk was born in Lviv, Ukraine, in 1982. She is the author of two award-winning poetry collections, Xenia and Lovy, in the Ukrainian, as well as a co-editor of Words for War: New Poems from Ukraine, an anthology of contemporary poetry. Her English-language poems have appeared in The Irish Times, The London Magazine, The Paris Review, Poetry London, PN Review, The Poetry Review and elsewhere. Oksana was a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts translation fellowship and a winner of the Scaglione Prize from the Modern Language Association of America, the Peterson Translated Book Award, the American Association for Ukrainian Studies Translation Prize, the Richmond Lattimore Prize, and the Joseph Brodsky/Stephen Spender Prize.
