Angst (Digital Edition)

Angst is an urban encyclopedia written in unrhymed poetic form. The author’s eclectic and melancholic body of work spans 10 years of life: carefree years in Crimea and anxious ones in Kyiv. These are years of documenting political processes, erotic explorations, everyday banality and the traumatic experience of growing up.

The greatest appeal of this poetry lies in its duality: at times it feels photographic due to its насыщеність nostalgic imagery and layered contexts, and at other times minimalist—as if a Buddhist monk were writing down koans. The book is a philosophical quest, and we invite you to begin it.
