unburied

By Miss Milana Trofimenko

This is not a book about war.

It is a book about what war leaves behind.

Written between the ages of 12 and 17 by Ukrainian poet Milana Trofimenko, this collection follows the aftermath of conflict through memory, exile, grief, identity, and survival. The poems move between ruined cities, railway stations, childhood homes, foreign countries, and the quiet spaces where loss continues long after the headlines disappear.

Untitled by design, each poem arrives without warning-just as war does. There are no comforting endings, and no promises that suffering can be neatly understood. Instead, these pages explore the ways human beings adapt to tragedy, carry memory, and continue living alongside things that cannot be repaired.

Combining lyrical poetry, philosophical reflection, and personal observations shaped by displacement, this collection asks difficult questions about human nature, distance, grief, and what it means to belong to a place that no longer exists in the way you remember it.

Raw, unsettling, and deeply personal, this is a book about the dead, the living, and the memories that refuse to stay buried.
