Description
Named as One of Financial Times's Best Summer Poetry Books of 2024Featured as Best Recent Poetry by The Guardian
The poems in Oksana Maksymchuk’s debut English-language collection meditate on the changing sense of reality, temporality, mortality, and intimacy in the face of a catastrophic event. While some of the poems were composed in the months preceding the full-scale invasion of the poet’s homeland, others emerged in its wake. Navigating between a chronicle, a chorus, and a collage, Still City reflects the lived experiences of liminality, offering different perspectives on the war and its aftermath. The collection engages a wide range of sources, including social media posts, the news reports, witness accounts, recorded oral histories, photographs, drone video footage, intercepted communication, and official documents, making sense of the transformations that war effects in individuals, families, and communities. Now ecstatic, now cathartic, these poems shine a light on survival, mourning, and hope through moments of terror and awe.
Poems from the collection appeared in AGNI, The Arkansas International, Chicago Quarterly Review, The Cincinnati Review, The Common, Conduit, The Continental Literary Magazine, Copper Nickel, Grain Magazine, The Guardian, The Indianapolis Review, The Manhattan Review, Ninth Letter, The Paris Review, Pleiades, Plume, PN Review, Poetry Ireland Review, Poetry London, Poetry Northwest, The Poetry Review, PRISM International, Salamander, Smartish Pace, Southern Indiana Review, and The Irish Times.
