Preface to an American Edition
Pavlo Prokopovich Glazoviy (1922-2004) - the legendary Ukrainian poet-humorist and satirist. It happened that our life paths crossed,
and our close communication continued for twenty years of the active creative period of the poet’s life (1974-1993). Published in
Ukraine on the centenary of his birth, the book of our memoirs and selected works of the poet “Unforgettable Pavlo Glazoviy” (FOP
Stebelyak, Kyiv 2022) attracted the attention of readers, which influenced our decision to introduce it to the American reader.
The work of Pavlo Glazoviy is imbued with the Ukrainian folk spirit, and this is its peculiarity and enduring value. The poet
uses the expressions beloved by the people, the treasures of the living language, Ukrainian proverbs and sayings, as if giving them
a second wind, which makes up the unique flavor of his fables.
His rhymes are light and melodic. The often coarse, vernacular, unpretentious content of his humorous poetry is combined with
the sophistication of presentation. All this is extremely difficult to preserve in translation.
The author’s ways of creating plots and artistic images cause their different perception by readers of the original and readers of the
translation due to the historically established specific conditions of their existence - life and culture (I mean Ukrainian and Western
readers). It is also impossible not to take into account the various possibilities and features of languages.
Being a poet deeply popular, national, and therefore being a prominent representative of the Ukrainian mentality, he remains
the bearer of common to all mankind values that retain a flavor of national specificity. And such statements are largely universal.
We are deeply grateful to Mr. Charles Salkowski for helping us understand the differences in the perception of the poet’s work by
American and Ukrainian readers, as well as in editing texts.
I wanted to introduce the American reader to the legendary Ukrainian truly folk poet, who drew from the depths of his
people the pearls of wisdom, a philosophical attitude to life; a patriotic people courageously fighting now for their independence.
The book consists of three parts: Memoirs by Yuliana Kholodova, painting a portrait of a living poet who was remained
a close friend of our family for 20 years; Selected fables and humoresques by Pavlo Glazoviy, written during the period
of our close communication; A sad nostalgic story by Yuri Kholodov, published earlier and dedicated to the memory of the poet.
