Persephone Blues offers a selection of poems by one of the leading Ukrainian writers of her generation, Oksana Lutsyshyna. In the poems collected here "experience is a means of entombment." Gender is no longer a measure of strength neither is youth. Sometimes the dead can see each other again love goes through its motions, while we remain in the animal kingdom. Inviting and potent, these poems suggest Ovids transformations continue unfolding around us with unexpected rapidity. Author of four novels and four volumes of poetry, Lutsyshyna is currently a lecturer in Slavic Literature at the University of Texas at Austin.
