To the book of Vasyl Stus (6.01.1938–4.09.1985) — one of the most outstanding Ukrainian poets of the 20th century — selected poems from various periods of his work are included. From V. Stus's letter to his fellow political prisoner Mykola Plakhotniuk: "...our only optimism is in standing firm. And this stance makes us all brothers... It's very unfortunate that I can't help you in any way, it turns out. Just don't forget that I constantly keep you, like all my true brothers, in my mind, I dry myself with your pains as if they were my own. And more than once, not just once, I wrote your surname — among others. Once again, brother: our optimism is within ourselves, in our stance. The rest — does not concern us. That is God's will, which is not disputed." The book collects the best poems of the Poet, as well as the most expressive excerpts from letters, full of philosophical generalizations and poignant details. Notes under some poems shed unexpected light on the dramatic moments of Vasyl Stus's life and work. We hope this book will become your favorite collection of works by the distinguished Poet and Citizen. Afterword: Kostyantyn Moskalyets. Consultants: Halyna Stefanova, Kostyantyn Moskalyets, Dmytro Stus.
