The rehabilitation of soldiers and their return to civilian life from active duty is a topic that is both current and sensitive for Ukrainian society. The charitable-artistic project, “Where Home Is”, fosters the expression of one’s own creative spirit as a means for healing and rehabilitation. A collection of poetry by the same name was published earlier in the summer of 2019 by the ACSA publishing house (Agency of Contemporary Specialists & Authors), with the support of the Ukrainian Cultural Fund. It is a book of 112 poems about love and war written by combat veterans and civilian volunteers, a tribute to writing as a refuge for the four fighters whose poetry has been included in this work.
