Ihor Pavlyuk

I know that a nebulous terrain exists in the hearts and minds of every person, a terrain that cannot be adequately characterized in simple terms of right and wrong or good and bad. I see this ambiguity in Ihor Pavlyuk’s works and I am happy in the knowledge that there is a very good poet in Ukraine.

He is a Winner of a 2013 English PEN Award and a Doctor of Social Communication.

Works of Ihor Pavlyuk have been translated into Russian, Belarusian, Polish, English, French, Latvian, Bulgarian, Japanese and other languages and published in such magazines as "The Apple Valley Review" (Volume 7, Number 2 (Fall 2012), "Muddy River Poetry Review", Asymptote, "Gold Dust" (Issue 23), "The Adirondack Review", "The Recusant", "Metamorphoses", "Eurasia Review", "The world poets quarterly", and many others.

In 1992 Ihor Pavlyuk graduated from the Department of Journalism at Lviv University and worked as the correspondent of religious press and radio in Lviv.
