The everyday life magic or The Poetry of Myroslav Laiuk

Vol.30,No.1(2020)

Abstract
This study offers an insight into a situation of the Ukrainian poetry written after the 1991. A local poetry scene is characterized by a typological diversity (spiritual poetry, philosophical-contemplative poetry, committed poetry, experimental poetry etc.). Speaking about the last few years, authors thematizing experiences of everyday life are in the forefront. The article introduces a prominent poet from an young generation, Myroslav Laiuk (1990), whose works are significant by looking for deeper meanings in common things and looking for lost magic of everydayness. Based on an interpretation analysis of their poetry collections, we can define essential features of this poetry, such as a simple language and (self-)irony, topics of childhood memories, observing people and their lives, mixing of sacral and profane.

Keywords:
contemporary Ukrainian poetry; Myroslav Laiuk; everydayness; desacralization; childhood
