Zhadan’s works

Zhadan’s work explores the changes he has witnessed as a representative of the immediate post-Soviet generation in Ukraine.

His poetry style and masterful wordplay have led critics to dub his trademark approach “verbal jazz”, a description that reflects his unique authorial voice.

Zhadan stands as a witness to a time of great social change through the eyes of Ukraine’s dispossessed youth.

In addition to writing poetry, S. Zhadan writes prose works, all kinds of essays and criticism, he does translations as well.

At the same time, we can’t say he is totally given to literature. Creative writing for him is not an occupation, not even a hobby. Zhadan is a writer and there are things that he feels he must verbalize. And a poet verbalizes them in a manner which, some people say, is really perfect. That’s why he continues to do it.

His works speak to the disillusionment, difficulties and ironies that the collapse of the Soviet Union has brought, and his readings fill large auditoriums. We may say that his poems are illuminations of hope. Serhiy Zhadan is in his thirties now and he us considered to be the most important poet of the decade and even one of the leading voices of the last century.

So many modern people should respect modern book, writers and should spend more time with books.
