There is a Zabava (poem)


There is a Zabava is the name of a poem by Nicole Yurcaba.

Yurcaba's poem begins:"There is a zabava,
and everyone is singing
the songs about the birds;
there is a pearl inside me
that wishes I could play
Dedushka’s mandolin which rests
in its battered leather case
because I feel, at times,
that all we as Ukrainians have
is each other and the music;
the squalling trumpets,
the plucked banduras,
the daring dentsivkas,
Diduk’s silenced mandolin
and the tribal drums
that move our feet
and sway our hips
and preserve on our lips
that intricate language,
those spider-web secrets

that are preciously ours."Nicole Yurcaba is an instructor of English at Bridgewater College whose poetry and essays have appeared in numerous publications. There is a Zabava was featured in the Atlanta Review in 2015.
