[dasein: оборона присутності]

Ярина Чорногуз

Вибір без вибору. Пітьма і лють. Наша згода загинути. Наш вибір вбивати. Бій і порожнеча. Щоденні втрати. Втрати, які вже не рахують та не відчувають. Кордони землі, що впізнаєш навпомацки. Поезії Ярини Чорногуз 2014 це своєрідні листи з фронту, листи з передової, де ти не знайдеш опису бойових дій чи переліку звільнених територій. Це листи про біль від утрати загиблих побратимів та посестер, листи про буття на війні тут і зараз, про усвідомлення та прийняття власного вибору піти воювати, листи про те, як виглядатиме світ після всього цього болю, що розриває зсередини. Листи про те, як виглядає оборона твоєї присутності в цьому світі. Ці тексти Ярина написала за останні півтора року ротації на фронті, значна частина якої припала на повномасштабну війну. «У цій добірці, 2014 пише Ярина, 2014 промовлятиме моя пам2019ять про Скадовськ і морське узбережжя Херсонщини, Сєвєродонецьк та Маріуполь, висоти над Новоайдаром, дорогу Бахмут2012Лисичанськ і села по той бік Сіверського Дінця, річки, яка стала українським Стіксом. І всі вони відчуваються мені як ще одна мала батьківщина, бо вони переміряні нашими кроками вздовж і впоперек. Деякі вільні й оборонені, більшість з них 2014 ще належить звільнити».

Dave Dashaway and His Hydroplane. Or Daring Adventures over the Great Lakes

Roy Rockwood

Running an airship took nerve, steadiness of purpose, a definite, concrete way of looking at things. Dave knew in his own mind that the Drifter was each hour speeding farther and farther away from the haunts of men. He recalled the old adage, however, which says the more haste the less speed, and he determined to stick to the plan he had mentally outlined at the start. In Dave Dashaway and His Hydroplane, Dave is called in to assist in the recovery of a hydro-aeroplane, or as we would know it, a seaplane. Criminals have already figured out how to use this exciting new invention for evil, and Dave must nip it in the bud!
