The result is a tremendous work that The Guardian describes as embodying \"the idea of the rupture of language through the physical collapse of signs and lettering on buildings hit by missiles.\" This slim book bears great weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesyk Panasiuk\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of three collections of poetry.
