Bohdan-Ihor Vasyliovych Antonych (Ukrainian:Богдан-Ігор Васильович Антонич; 5 October 1909 – 6 July 1937) was a 20th-century Ukrainianpoet.[1] In 1934, Antonych received a prize from theIvan Franko Society of Writers and Journalists for his workThree Signet Rings.[2]
Antonych was born and raised in theLemko village ofNowica where his father, Vasyl, was a parish priest. In 1928, Antonych left Nowica to study atLviv University, where he remained until he received his degree inSlavic studies in 1933.[3] From 1928 to 1933, Antonych was a student at the Jan Kazimierz University in Lviv, where he studied at the Faculty of Philosophy (specializing in Polish philology). In order to help finance his chosen career of professional writer, he occasionally worked as an editor for journals such asDazhboh andKarby.
Antonych died frompneumonia on 6 July 1937.[3]
In his poetry, Antonych combined the principles ofimagism with a life-affirmingpaganism inspired by Lemko folklore. He declared himself "a pagan in love with life" and "a poet of spring intoxication".[1]
In October 2009, theNational Bank of Ukraine issued a commemorative coin in Antonych's honor as a part of its "Outstanding Personalities of Ukraine" series.[4]
