A literary Evening commemorating Bohdan Ihor Antonych

PR Log (Press Release) – Sep 15, 2009 – The Ukrainian National Museum is pleased to invite you to a literary evening, Friday, October 2nd, 2009 at 7:00 pm, to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the famed Ukrainian Poet, Bohdan Ihor Antonych.  His lyrical poetry deals with a wide range of philosophical themes and combines the principles of imagism with a unique form of pantheism rooted in folklore of the Lemko region in the Carpathian Mountains.  His religious attitude to folk objects and his extensive use of alliteration fascinated his contemporaries and have influenced later poets, notably Ihor Kalynets and Mykola Horbal.  Join us for a truly unique evening celebrating this renowned Ukrainian Poet.

The Ukrainian National Museum is located in the heart of the Ukrainian Village, at 2249 West Superior Street in Chicago. Hours: Thursday through Sunday, 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, Admission: Adults $5.00, Children under 12 - Free.
