A Monster the Size of the Sun Iryna Klishch

This debut poetry collection by Iryna Klishch has been called "a little book by a big talent." It is the work of a young poet mature beyond her years who explores writing "viciously, savagely well." In her own eclectic style, Klishch scatters words and phrases across a page or molds them into couplets, a narrow column, a prose block--all connected by glimpses of sun. The look of her poetry is as unique as its myriad subjects and its singularly creative author. A Monster the Size of the Sun is the winner of the 2018 NFSPS College Undergraduate Poetry (CUP) Competition and Edna Meudt Memorial Award.
