Vasyl Symonenko is one of the most significant figures of the Sixties generation in Ukrainian literature.
Oles Honchar called Symonenko "a knight of young Ukrainian poetry", Vasyl Zakharchenko - "a poet from the mountain valleys of Shevchenko". Vasyl Stus said this: "...Young people were in a hurry to hear the voice of Symonenko, the greatest of the Sixties. Time was in a hurry as well."
This collection of the poet's best works includes, in particular, the poems "Swans of Motherhood" and "You Know You Are a Human Being" - Vasyl Symonenko's programme works containing reflections on human nature and love for Ukraine. The main leitmotif of these poems is that a person cannot choose his or her homeland, but must also feel his or her importance and enjoy the moments of life, because tomorrow the world will belong to other people.
The poems "I'm looking into your pupils" and "I..." are sincere love for Ukraine and philosophical reflections on human individuality poured into lines. The lyrical hero asserts his life priorities: patriotism, honesty and dignity.
"Tsar Plaksiy and Loskoton" is a poetic extravaganza, a cheerful, humorous tone, and related rhyming make the poetry extremely easy to understand and remember. The eloquent names and titles are intriguing, and the witty humour will pleasantly entertain young readers.

He kept her awake
She came
Hey, new Columbus and Magellan
A lump of earth
Where are you now, executioners of my people?
My grandfather died
Thinking about my grandfather
Thinking about happiness
There are both weekdays and holidays in love...
There are thousands of roads, millions of narrow paths...
I'm looking into your pupils...
