"The collection of Lviv batyar songs created by Andriy Panchyshyn will takes you to the Lviv that today is almost gone. Sincere street romanticism, unique humor, colorful language..."
Actually, these are the texts that – due to Viktor Morozov – have become very bright songs from the albums "A Batiar's Heart" and "Batiar Blues". We have already mentioned their singularity – so now let me emphasize another thing. These texts – despite the excellent styling as if the early 20th century – still remain surprisingly relevant. They are not as overtly topical, as, for example, a number of songs that were created under the impact of Euromaidan – but, you know, there are things that do not change. And the human nature – good or not that good – is one of those things. So, you can be sure that you will find here a lot of interesting, funny stuff, and the things that will make you truly thoughtful. In Ukrainian. Edition type: soft cover Format: 146x206 mm Number of pages: 104 Publisher: Autograf, Kyiv Contents:
The portrait of a Ukrainian woman more often presents her being silent than when she is talking. But without the experience of this silence, there would be no voice that sounds in this collection. The voice that defends the right to speak sincerely about acute grief, generational traumas, the courage of love..

Sixty poems about the memory, born of love, and about the fire, which only leaves tenderness behind. Sixty attempts to outline the light and speak about the air over the city.

..almost every woman can do that: give birth to a baby – and start to intensively recall her own childhood; see her husband go to the war – and start drawing parallels with the wars long past. But not everyone can with such love and determination express that, making the past as sharp as the present, and the present – as deep as the past.

"...I think that the most important things about my poems are sight and memory. Medieval Christianity commands us to remember the four "last things" – death, Judgment, hell, and paradise. But while these things have not been fulfilled, we remember the penultimate thing. Let's call it – to be short – life." Borys Khersonsky

What is it like – coexistence of everything with everything? What is it like – that singing of existence? The God of our time – polysemy – tempts us with shimmer of meanings, the desire to reconcile the irreconcilable. How is it possible to sing the entire diversity of the world in one song?
