Metal and Metaphor (Almanac) (hardcover)

Metal and Metaphor is a charity poetry almanac published by Vohnepys, bringing together verse from over 100 Ukrainian poets writing from cities across Ukraine and from displacement abroad. Together their poems chart what it means to live through war — breakdown and endurance, loss, silence, the strange rituals of daily life, fear, and the stubborn human capacity to keep going. The voices span different ages, experiences, and tones, but share the same unavoidable moment in time. There is no single "right" way to grieve or survive here — only a chorus of testimony.

Produced as a charity project, the almanac is a way of documenting reality, preserving memory, and turning words into action; proceeds support Ukraine's Armed Forces. Hardcover, A5 format. Rated 4.88/5 by readers, many of whom praise both the emotional weight of the poems and the quality of the physical book itself.

Perfect for: readers who want an honest, multi-voiced record of the war in Ukraine, collectors of contemporary Ukrainian poetry, and anyone looking for a meaningful purchase that also supports a good cause.
