Book candidate for the 1st Edition of the " Strega Poetry Prize 2023 " the most prestigious Italian literary award. "The lyrics contained in the collection represent a courageous experiment in reconstructing the emotional dimension of Olena, a young poet who sends letters in verse to her beloved, a partisan on the Ukrainian war front.

Dedicated to the heroism of the Ukrainian people and to all lovers divided by hatred of war." -With Images taken by Ukrainian photojournalist Ksusha Fetisova .
