MIKHAYLO OREST (1901—1936) Orest possessed a poetic talent equal to the best of the present West European poets. In that he, among contemporary Ukrainian poets, reached the most ecstatic and visionary heights, he is often compared to the German poet Rilke. In the mid-thirties Orest was sent by the Soviet regime to a slave labor camp in the sub-Arctic region , but managed to return home just before the outbreak of the Nazi-Soviet- war. During the German occu pation he went first to Lviw and then to Germany, where he died. Many of his poems were composed in the concentration camps and in Soviet Ukraine but he never tried to publish them there. He retained them in memory for years and put them on paper only when the Soviet troops retreated from Ukraine.
