There is so much poetry coming out of Ukraine now that I'm barely keeping up with it, the Ukrainian translator and scholar Oksana Maksymchuk tells me.It is hardly the first thing that one would expect of a country at war.But poetry's ability to, as she says, crystallise a particular moment in time, or an emotion that is fleeting, has led to an outpouring of poems not so much emotion recollected in tranquillity, as the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings.
