Publications known as Drukapisy have been collected under one cover. Modern avant-garde poets Zmitser Vishneu, Mikhas Bashura, Illya Sin, Syarhey Pataranski, Valyantsin Tatur, Viktar Zhybul, Ales Bychkowski, Hanna Tsikhanava and Valzhyna Mort were the founding fathers of Belarusian modern avant-garde poetry. Most collections included in the book were published as samizdat in the mid 1990s in response to changes in society. Drukapisy, a combination of fine art and literature, are evidence that Belarusian avant-garde evolved in a broader European cultural context. The word Drukapis first appeared on a samizdat collection of poems by Valzhyna Mort. Now it is used to describe a cultural trend in Belarus. (Z.K.)
