"'Lost in living' presents Halyna Kruk's unpublished work from the immediate, tumultuous 'pre-invasion' years before full-scale war in Ukraine. These poems, distinct from war-focused ones, echo a sense of poetic control through vivid imagery and a juxtaposition of calmness and vulnerability. Nature's inability to provide stability and the struggle to find a nurturing environment permeates the verses. Despite this, daily routines emerge as affirmations of life. Kruk's urgency in these poems stems from a quest for survival, marking this collection as the sixteenth volume in the Lost Horse Press Contemporary Ukrainian Poetry series"--Page 4 of cover
