This is an automatically translated description

The world of Lesya Ukrainka's poetry is diverse and rich, vividly individual, emotionally sublime. Her talent as a lyricist was most fully revealed in civic poetry. Considering the genres of socio-political poetry in the context of the consciousness of the era, we are convinced that the poet's imaginative thought is organically linked to real life, to the most important events of the time. That is why double-edged swords and lightning bolts, fiery songs and the ringing of chains, thunderous spring storms and Promethean wrestlers appear in Lesia Ukrainka's work as an aesthetic necessity. The theme of the revolutionary struggle, love for the native land, reflections on the future of the people, the tasks and duties of the artist determined the main pathos of the writer's work, and at the same time the world of artistic images.

Lesia Ukrainka's poetic heritage is contained in the collections «On the Wings of Songs» (1893), «Thoughts and Dreams» (1902), «Reviews» (1913). In the last decade of her life (1903-1913), she wrote more than a hundred poems, half of which were never published during her lifetime. Among them are "Smoke", "Songs of Freedom", "Dreaming of not betraying", "Drunk on bloody feasts" and others.
