The essential poetry of Bohdan Ihor Antonych : ecstasies and elegies

"Some of the poems from Antonych's The Book of the Lion, as well as from the posthumously published The Green Gospel and Rotations deserve to be read alongside the work of his great contemporaries, such as Garcia Lorca and Mandelstam. It's there that the poet's metaphoric power comes fully into its own. Michael Naydan has done a major service in carrying over Antonych's dense, syntactically supple verse into English."--Askold Melnyczuk, poet, novelist, and Associate Professor of Creative Writing, University of Massachusetts at Boston
