Bohdan-Ihor Vasyliovych Antonych (Ukrainian: Богдан-Ігор Васильович Антонич; 5 October 1909 – 6 July 1937) was a 20th-century Ukrainian poet.[1] In 1934 Antonych received third prize honours from the Ivan Franko Society of Writers and Journalists for his work Three Signet Rings.[2]
Biography
Antonych was born and raised in the Lemko village of Nowica where his father, Vasyl, was a parish priest. In 1928 Antonych left Nowica to study at Lviv University, where he remained until he received his degree in Slavic studies in 1933.[3] In order to help finance his chosen career of professional writer, he occasionally worked as an editor for journals such as Dazhboh and Karby. Antonych died from pneumonia on 6 July 1937.[3] In October 2009, the National Bank of Ukraine issued a commemorative coin in his honor as a part of their "Outstanding Personalities of Ukraine" series.[4]
In his poetry he combines the principles of imagism with a life-affirming paganism inspired by Lemko folklore. He declared himself "a pagan in love with life" and "a poet of spring intoxication".[1]
