AU/UA Contemporary Poetry of
Ukraine & Australia
This e-book is the first collection of contemporary poetry from both countries in both languages accompanied by rich photography. Exchanges between our two dynamic cultures are yet to fully develop & this work is an important step in that process. Work includes some of both nations’ leading writers plus some younger voices.
The title can be downloaded freely at:
