The New York Group of Poets (also: The New York Group of Ukrainian Poets, or The New York Group; Ukrainian: Нью-Йоркська Група; N'iu-Iorks'ka hrupa) was a literary movement of Ukrainian refugee modernist poets (and artists) that gathered in New York City during the mid-1950s, imbuing Contemporary Ukrainian literature with avant-garde ideas and with new poetic forms. The poets eagerly experimented and embraced fashionable artistic and philosophical trends as surrealism, magic realism, and existentialism. While the label "New York Group" commonly refers to seven founding members, namely Bohdan Boychuk, Yuriy Tarnawsky, Bohdan Rubchak, Zhenia Vasylkivska, Emma Andijewska, Patrytsiia Kylyna (a pen name of Patricia Nell Warren), and Vira Vovk, it also includes five poets who joined the founders of the group more than a decade later: George Kolomyiets, Oleh Kowerko, Marco Carynnyk, Roman Babowal, and Maria Rewakowicz. These latter poets betrayed the same inclination toward metrical experimentation and display continuity in themes.[1]

The New York Group's most active period spans approximately fifteen years, from the mid-1950s until the early 1970s and coincides with the publication of its annual poetry almanac Novi poezii (New Poetry).[2] In 1990 Boychuk and Rewakowicz, in cooperation with the Writers' Union of Ukraine, founded a literary magazine Svito-vyd in Kyiv, which continued publishing until 1999.[3] The most iconic thematic innovations introduced by the New York Group Drew inspiration both from recent Spanish poetry and from the Latin American boom[1] while incorporating play elements, urban motifs, and erotica.

The phenomenon of the New York Group provides an interesting study for exploring cultural and aesthetic ramifications of writers in exile.[4] Having settled mostly in the United States, the poets welcomed their exilic condition, which had freed them from the constraints of Censorship in the Soviet Union, while also nurturing their link with Ukraine by continuing to write poetry in their mother tongue. This was their way of paying tribute to the poetic history of their language, while incorporating the formal and thematic innovations of the Western world.[5] In fact, some critics drew parallels between the poets of the New York Group and the poets of the Beat Generation,[6] although, arguably, the New York Group displays more affinity with the European modernist tradition than with most other American post-World War II literary movements.

[es] El grupo de poetas de Nueva York

El grupo de poetas de Nueva York, también conocido como Grupo de Poetas Ucranianos de Nueva York, o Grupo de Nueva York; ucraniano: Нью-Йоркська Група; N'iu-Iorks'ka hrupa) fue un movimiento literario de poetas modernistas refugiados ucranianos (y artistas) que se reunieron en la ciudad de Nueva York a mediados de la década de 1950, imbuyendo la literatura ucraniana contemporánea con ideas de vanguardia y con nuevas formas poéticas. Los poetas experimentaron con entusiasmo y adoptaron tendencias artísticas y filosóficas de moda como el surrealismo, el realismo mágico y el existencialismo. Si bien la etiqueta "New York Group" comúnmente se refiere a siete miembros fundadores, a saber, Bohdan Boychuk, Yuriy Tarnawsky, Bohdan Rubchak, Zhenia Vasylkivska, Emma Andijewska, Patrytsiia Kylyna (seudónimo de Patricia Nell Warren) y Vira Vovk, también incluye cinco poetas que se unieron a los fundadores del grupo más de una década después: George Kolomyiets, Oleh Kowerko, Marco Carynnyk, Roman Babowal y Maria Rewakowicz. Estos últimos poetas traicionaron la misma inclinación hacia la experimentación métrica y muestran continuidad en los temas..[1]
