It focuses on the poets diasporic and transnational connections both with their country of origin and their adopted homelands, underscoring the groups role in the shaping of the cultural and literary image of Ukraine abroad. Displacements, forced or voluntary, engender states of alterity, states of living in-between, living in the interstices of different cultures and different linguistic realities. The poetry of the founding members of the New York Group reflects these states admirably. The poets accepted their exilic condition with no grudges and nurtured the link with their homeland via texts written in the mother tongue. This account of the groups output and legacy will appeal to all those eager to explore the poetry of East European nations and to those interested in larger cultural contexts for the development of European modernisms Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Title page of PDF version (EBSCO, viewed on August 29, 2014) Subject Nʹi︠u︡-Ĭorksʹka hrupa.
