Selected by Kavyl Mikhas

“Selected” by Mikhas Kavyl (1915–2017), a Belarusian poet who emigrated to the USA, is the first edition of his creative heritage after a more than thirty-year break. Participant of the Belarusian literary process of the late 1920s and early 1930s, the author, like many of his friends, was repressed, served his term in the Far East, and after some time was able to return to the Motherland, only to leave it again in 1944. . In the works of Mikhas Kavyl: both in poetry, in prose, and in memoirs, the tortuous fate of the Belarusian intellectual of the 20th century is reflected. The purpose of this book is not only to return the work of the emigrant poet to the national literary context, but also to revive the series “Heritage: overviews”, which was recently published in Belarus by the Association of Belarusians of the World “Fatherland”.
