Abstract
The article aims to analyse the leading motifs and artistic features of the poetic language of Pavlo Vyshebaba’s debut book “Just don’t Write to Me about the War”. The relevance of this study is determined by the need to understand combatant literature as a component of contemporary Ukrainian war literature; the need to determine the specifics of the correlation between the artistic picture of the world of the book and the question of identity. The subject of the analysis is the peculiarities of Vyshebaba’s poetic representation of the theme “man and war”. For this purpose, such scientific methods as hermeneutic, intertextual, and archetypal ones are used. It is observed that the author’s interpretation of the theme of “man and war” is revealed in a complex of motifs of social, philosophical, and intimate lyrics. The issues of personal, generational, and national identity are identified as the leitmotif of Vyshebaba’s poetry book. The artistic images of the world which are revealed in the topos of the war structured by “front, shelter”, and “foreign land” are outlined. In the course of the study, the author proposes a typology of the book’s works into the lyrics of choice, created before the full-scale war, and the lyrics of duty, written after its outbreak. The main problematic of the former is related to the question of the national and creative identity of the lyrical hero. The choice made by the lyrical hero determines his fate in the time-space of the war, outlined in the lyrics of the rank. It manifests itself in historically specific, literary, cultural, and autobiographical coordinates. When modelling the image of war, the poet does not resort to detailed battle scenes and military vocabulary. Instead, he prefers to reflect on the meaning of existence, activates the motif of memory, and plunges into the psychological portrait of the hero. It has been determined that, as in the lyrics of choice, the peculiarity of the disclosure of the theme man and war is due to the combatant’s experience and the author’s artistic dialogism. His idiostyle is characterised by biblical reminiscences and allusions, references to Dante, J. Donne, Voltaire, etc.; intertextual connections at the level of titles (“City with Chimeras”, “The Divine Comedy”, etc.), poetic stylizations (prayer, carol, counting, lullaby, and hokku). In fact, the question of the sources of intertextuality and the peculiarities of the author’s interpretation is a prospect for further study of Vyshebaba’s lyrics.
