Icarus With Butterfly Wings

Holoborodko born in 1945 in southern Ukraine, was expelled from Donetsk University in 1966 for circulating samizdat literature. Through the 70s and 80s he could not be published in Ukraine. Without a completed university education, he was forced to work as a laborer until 1988, when his book Green Day was published. Icarus With Butterfly Wings appeared in 1990, and Holoborodko was recognized as one of the leading poets of his generation.
