Item description from seller

Rimini, Italy: Vydavnytstvo "Zhyttia v tabori" (Life in the camp); Ukrains'kyi tabor polonenykh, 1946. Octavo (20.7 × 15.3 cm). Original pictorial wrappers; VII, [1], 97, [3] pp. With five decorative lithographed section dividers. Old stamps of a private diaspora library; else about very good. Rare second volume of poems by Bogdan Bora (1920-1997), printed in a prison camp in Rimini, Italy, shortly after the end of World War II. This book followed his 1946 volume "V dorozi" (On the road), which was also mimeographed in a small print run (280 copies). The present work features pictorial wrappers, title page, author's portrait and five pictorial section dividers on slightly better paper stock, with the text reproduced mimeographically from typescript. The artists were Volodymyr Kaplun and S. Iatsushko. All of the poems were written at Cesenatico, on the Adriatic coast, or Rimini. Like most inmates of the camp, Bora was evidently a former member of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, later known as the First Division of the Ukrainian National Army, which fought against the Soviet Army alongside the Germans. It consisted largely of volunteers from Galicia. Approximately 9000 members of the division were later held in Rimini. Shortly after this book appeared, Bora moved to the UK, where he settled permanently. Apart from the two books by him, this Rimini camp publisher only issued the eponymous camp newspaper and another volume of poems (by Stepan Rykhtyts'kyi). One of 200 copies printed. As of April 2023, KVK and OCLC show two copies worldwide, both in North America.…
