In The Infinite Now, Taras Gembik crafts an intimate meditation on solitude, faith, and the search for meaning, ten years in the making. Moving between Ukraine and Poland, these twenty-five poems trace a decade-long journey of self-discovery. Through stark winter evenings and quiet conversations, Gembik’s verses explore ancient and universal questions of existence and identity: the nature of God, the comfort of walls and communion with others, the circular path of memory. The collection transforms everyday moments into profound reflections on love, displacement, how to build community, and the possibility of finding home in transience.

"This stunning meditation on belonging glides effortlessly between the lyrical and the philosophical, the symbolic and the very real. A truly original voice, which will stay with me for a long time." — Andrew Durbin
