LENA KOSTENKO The young poetess Lena Kos tenko was horn in 1930 near Kiev into a family of school teachers. In 1952 she completed pedago gical studies in Kiev and in 1956 graduated from the Literary Insti tute in Moscow. Her first collection of poems “The Earth’s Rays” appeared in 1957 and attracted- widespread at tention by its freshness of expres sion and depth of thought. Her next collection "Sails” appeared in 195>8 and "Travels of the Heart” which appeared in 1961 showed great talent and brought to light the non-conformist ideas of the poetess. Unfortunately, for her in dependent approach to poetry and her modern forms of expression she met with severe criticism. Lena Kostenko answered with silence. Since the appearance of her last collection only a few of her poems have appeared in Soviet journals. However, many hand written copies of her poems con tinue to he circulated in the Ukrainian SSR. Lena Kostenko is considred one of the leading literary lights among the ’6 0 s writers in the Soviet Union.
