Spiritual resistance to the brutal imperial invasion is the counterpoint of Serhiy Shelkovyi's new book. And this resistance is affirmed not only by the poet's passionate sympathy for Ukraine's courageous defence of its dignity and universal values, but also by purely lyrical poems that are organically linked to the author's Ukrainian mentality, the tradition of his mother tongue and native melody. The title of the book, "Niskhodyme", refers to the fundamental article by academician Ivan Dziuba "The Niskhodymy Serhiy Shelkovyi", which was published in 2019 in the literary journal Kharkiviy, and ultimately to Shevchenko's epic image of "niskhodymy" in his poem "Caucasus". Today, in the hell of a ruthless war, it is becoming increasingly clear that the inexhaustible, endless, and at the same time so semi-fixed, life path of every person is his or her constant, and each time fateful, choice between good and evil. The light of humanity must surely overcome the lowliness and darkness - this is the prayer and mantra of Serhiy Shelkovyi's Lenten word in the new book.
