orchidia sweet snow fall river vovochka ardor pitun s last stand and mazeppa rides again alexander motyl s second collection of poems combines odes to people ranging from the b movie star sterling hayden to fred and ginger to the andy warhol superstar ultra violet to the great german poet johann wolfgang von goethe with wry ironic and occasionally mordant observations about life death time art war and other worrisome things throughout motyl verges between hope and despair though ultimately coming down on the side of the former unsurprisingly the poems are seriously unserious or unseriously serious the author isn t quite sure which worries is a companion piece of his first poetry collection vanishing points in these poems there is a kind of maximum minimization of everything both when alexander motyl says that he measures time with operas and when he admires the dance of the butterfly or when he reflects on lines the poet is paradoxical asking questions and philosophical when there is no answer to them he wants to talk about life and its transience in simplified language without special metaphors so he builds a dialogue from his own worries appealing to goethe joyce kilmer or jonas mekas is like comparing his time with the time of his predecessors and their poetics with his own that is why the universal time of this collection is filled with life s wisdom and a sense of inevitable transience paired with the desire to keep it dressing it in poetic form vasyl makhno author of paper bridge in his latest opus motyl s wry urbane voice reflects on where centuries of progress have led us blame it all on copernicus when we were in the center of things what could possibly go wrong nothing despite their snappy tone his jaunty verses with their ready wit and probing questions take on serious matters about time and trust and perception with the insight of a 21st century philosophe moving comfortably between conversations with heroes of the enlightenment and romanticism think condorcet goethe to grade b noir actor sterling hayden and warhol superstar ultra violet motyl lives up to henry james aspirations for a writer to be one of the people on whom nothing is wasted askold melnyczuk author of venus of odesa in worries motyl charts the cosmic and the mundane in poems that loop list and linger capturing metaphysical unease with a lightly ironic shrug the fragility of the universe worries me the speaker confesses as stars explode and wormholes beckon all flesh is straw we re reminded and aquinas sighs met not with dismissal but with a tired kind of reverence from war trenches to dusty bedsides these poems ask unanswerable questions with clarity and dark wit the universe may not make sense but black peasant bread doused with time and

longer any turning back that is the point that must be reached a book should serve as the ax for the frozen sea within us these are quotes from franz kafka who is the most important poet for the author of this book in this collection the author tries to reach that point to approach the line nobody knows where this point is and at what moment there is no turning back the collection mostly includes poems of the last ten years or so which in metaphorical forms approach above mentioned point some of the texts are prose poems that open new possibilities of language and metaphor poetics explores meanings and mysteries of human memory but here in crossing the line i also get a sense of clarity as if one is writing about final things as if the perspective of a foreign language gives one a distance that allows one to see things with precision that is almost eerie yes there isn t just a welcome strangeness here as is often the case with writers who work in a foreign language there is also a kind of wisdom which comes from the experience of crossing that line ilya kaminsky cover design asya dodina the cover features the work by asya dodina and slava polishchuk exit xviii from

diamonds her ability to empathize so completely with brave women who suffered terribly in wartime from the never ending human appetite for cruelty moved me profoundly i have read blood moon over and
