Jazyk: eng

Metaphysical poetry emerges in transitional historical periods marked by radical change, as exemplified by wars. Defined by unique ideological and stylistic traits, it explores human existence as a drama, focusing on complex experiences. This poetry expresses a catastrophic worldview, merging thought and feeling to capture life’s paradoxical nature. This article examines how contemporary Ukrainian poetry reinterprets metaphysical themes, emphasizing sacred time, a new view of death, and mystical elements, demonstrating thematic kinship despite limited use of traditional metaphysical techniques.
