From the publisher:
This extraordinary "book of two books" is the final chord of a joint research project (2005) by Natalka Husar and Janice Kulyk Kiefer on post-Orange Ukraine through the eyes of an artist and a writer. One of Janice's poems, "On the Bridge," based on Natalka's painting "Ukraine and Me," highlights the project's concept: Ukraine-Canada, poetry-painting. The works or ideas for them are taken from Ukrainian life and presented by the authors from a Canadian perspective. The album was published in Ukraine, but for a Western, primarily Canadian, audience. The unifying point of this Canadian-Ukrainian project or impulse was the authors' belonging to both cultures - they live in Canada, and Ukrainian lives in them as the culture of their parents' families.
In September 2009, the book received the Special Grand Jury Award at the Lviv Publishers' Forum for Best Design.
