Dive into the life and legacy of Maksym Rylsky, one of Ukraine’s foremost 20th-century poets, with The Art of Balance by Vira Aheieva, now in a Ukrainian softcover edition with flaps. At 336 pages, this literary biography blends scholarly insight with human storytelling—tracing Rylsky’s journey from aristocratic roots through the ideological upheavals of Soviet modernism and the neoclassical revival.
Aheieva, a Shevchenko Prize laureate and humanities scholar, explores the dualities within Rylsky’s identity—between Ukrainian and Polish heritage, classicism and decadence, subversive symbols and moral conviction. Contextualized within Kyiv’s Old Community cultural hub, this work reveals how Rylsky forged a poetic voice amidst censorship and political shifts.
Published by Vikhola in 2023, the compact 130 × 200 mm format and subtle design make this edition both informative and accessible—a must-read for admirers of literary history, Ukrainian modernism, and cultural biography.
