In the work of almost every outstanding poet, there is something that passes with time, and something that remains for a long time or even forever. A long life was destined for the poetry of the epochal poets of the 20th century - Pavlo Tychyna (1891-1967) and Maksym Rylsky (1895-1964), whose creative heritage enriched the treasury of Ukrainian and world literature.
They have many things in common. For example, both of them started composing poems surprisingly early, experienced a taste for creativity, and their books of poetry (Tychyna's "Sunny Clarinets" and Rylsky's "Under the Autumn Stars"), which were published simultaneously — in 1918 — and are included in our publication, immediately testified to the extraordinary talent of the future classic poets. The main theme of these collections is the joy of existence, a hymn to life and youth, the search for a young soul that yearns for happiness and love.
