Contours of the City

Attyla Mohylny's poetry collection represents a significant shift in Ukrainian literature, moving away from traditional rhyme and meter to embrace free verse. Emerging during a pivotal political transition, "Contours of the City" captures the essence of urban life while aligning with Western late modernity. Despite being overlooked at its release in 1991, it stands as one of the finest examples of contemporary Ukrainian poetry. Mohylny's innovative work continues to resonate, highlighting the transformative power of his voice in a new cultural landscape.
