Spiritus flat ubi vult (“The Spirit Blows Where It Wills”) brings back the voice of Larisa Heniush through a facsimile reproduction of her handwritten poetry collection, compiled and bound by the poet herself in the first post-war years.

Written in exile between 1945 and 1947, these poems are both a personal record of loss and a poetic chronicle of national catastrophe. At the same time, they stand as a powerful testament to Heniush’s independent and unbroken spirit.

This edition restores the original manuscript and offers a new reading of the collection in the twenty-first century, returning an important document of Belarusian post-war literary history to contemporary readers.
