Dulina from Baradulina

"Dulina ad Baradulina" is a book for those who love laughter and freedom of thought. It contains witty "dulinas," lively words, and unexpected epigrams that Ryhor Baradulin daily invented on air, as well as new poems dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the Belarusian "Svaboda." This is humor with a Belarusian soul that you'll want to share with friends.

"Dulina ad Baradulina" is a book that is not recommended for sad, severe people or those performing state duties, but is recommended for everyone else, perhaps even slightly tipsy. In the summer of 2004, poet Ryhor Baradulin began a marathon at the microphone — every day, he aired a new "dulina," or rather, a tale and an epigram. And then he wrote another fifty poems for the 50th anniversary of Belarusian "Svaboda." Despite the chastity characteristic of the author, editor, and publisher, the essay "How Belarusians Have Sex" is also published for the first time. Because the truth cannot be suppressed.
