In the Lutsk publishing house "Teren," a collection of poetic works by journalist, writer, and publicist Oleh Poturai titled "A Lantern in the Corner" has been published. The book is effectively a complete collection of the author's poetic works and is perceived by critics as the most fundamental collection of this kind in the region, – reported the own correspondent of the Western Information Corporation.
The collection of poetic works by Oleh Poturai "A Lantern in the Corner" includes poems and long poems written by the author over the past 35 years. Some of them were published in periodicals and released as separate collections, but the vast majority of the works saw the light for the first time.
In total, the collection, which numbers over 450 pages, includes more than a thousand individual poetic works. The collection is densely interspersed with historicisms, Old Church Slavonicisms, and Polonisms, explanations of which the author provides separately.
The presentation of Oleh Poturai's collection "A Lantern in the Corner" is expected within the next two weeks.
