Despite that, he managed to cope with all the challenges, having preserved his creative talent and published two poetic collections, namely Proloh do Pisni (The Prologue to a Song, 1966) and Zelena Fantaziya (The Green Fancy, 1968).His third book Na ludnim vichi (At the Crowded Assembly)was published after his death in 1971.
The main features of Yuriy Slipko’s lyrics are the successful combination of publicist and lyric, philosophical and epic aspects in his poetry, the adherence to the poetic traditions, the depth of the ideas express, and the polyphony of the images.
