When Olena Teliha was executed in 1942, she was only thirty-five years old. Boundaries of Flame contains a total of thirty-five poems. It is as if each year of her tragically shortened life is commemorated by one of her poems. Both women's human journeys have been carefully retraced and their literary contributions have been carefully collected and published. Today, the educated reader can find two exceptional books: Olena Teliha Symposium (1977) and Liaturyn'ska Collected Works (1983). In both volumes there is a section reserved for their respective contributions as poets, journalists and critics. There is also a section reserved for articles written and speeches given to honor these two women. The two articles Oksana Liaturynska wrote about Olena Teliha appear in both volumes. In"Pro Olenu Telihu", written September 4, 1946, Liaturynska reveals that she and Teliha never entertained a close relationship. She writes that she can imagine Teliha at social functions, such as evening balls, and in parenthesis, she adds: "Now I vaguely remember meeting her at such events during her first year in Prague, but we both soon forgot this fortuitous encounter." A decade later, residing in Minnesota, Liatuiynska wrote a second article which was published in France in Ukraiinske Slovo (21-XII. 1955-1-1. 1956). We gather that in the 1930s, Liatuiynska first read some poetry written by Teliha, but never met her in person. Then we learn that when Liaturynska's collection of poems Husla appeared in 1938, she received a letter from Teliha. She never pursued the correspondence and because of circumstance beyond her control, never strengthened any friendship. In the United States and Canada, scholars and translators actively work to make Ukrainian poetry known to the general Anglophone public. One of the major books of translated poetiy where both Liaturynska and Teliha are represented is The Ukrainian Poets 1189- 1962, published in 1963 in Toronto, Canada. It is a very significant collection because only five women appear in the publication: Olena Teliha, Oksana Liaturynska, Lesia Ukrainka, Uliana Kravchenko, and Ludmilla Staritska-Chemiakhivska. Three poems by Liatuiynska and a short introduction to her work appear in the book. Olena Teliha is also represented with three poems; the short biography that accompanies her poetry contains a paragraph stressing her role as a journalist and an activist. The poetry of both women has also been published in Our Life (see Vol. 27, No. 9 (1970):26, Vol. 29, No. 4 (1972):26, Vol. 32, No. 4 (1975):20). Copyright by Helene N.
