Skin of Nocturnal Apple

‘Love, longing, desire, and death. Misha Honcharenko wraps these eternal subjects around a raw nerve, delivering poems so visceral, anguished, honest, and imaginatively rich, each work possesses its own atmosphere. Although these poems were written before the invasion of Ukraine, they rush into the blank spaces in our minds between front-line updates and casualty reports. Rarely is a poetry collection so hungry for life.’ — Christopher Bollen
