Summary/Abstract: The figure of Ye. Uhrynchuk belongs to the Bukovynian group of artists-traditionalists of the end of the XX century. This article starts not a common sequence about Bukovinian intelligence writers whose work was somewhat avoided by the researchers. Therefore the purpose of this article is to bring the poetic word of the author who so wanted to be heard and read to the scientific community. The study briefly reviews the facts of the poet's biography, her life creed and her special relationship with God. Two collection books of the writer are analyzed: "The rains in December" and "The breath of eternity". Yevheniya's poetry attracts by its incredible melody, which is why the composer Vasily Moshuk from Shypyntsi created several songs with the words of her poems: "New Year Waltz," "Song of Bukovyna," "Kobzaryk" and others. The first collection of Yevheniya Uhrynchuk "The Rains in December" is saturated with love for God, life and all living being. The poet proclaims life-asserting philosophy of the world in a very quiet, minor tone. Her sight does not skip any stem, any tree, any bird singing or any whispering of the wind. Persona is extremely religious so we often collect images of God, Jesus Christ, Theotokos, or Mary Magdalene. The most often is the image of God that is like father and adviser to the poet. The second and final collection of Yevheniya Uhrynchuk - "The Breath of Eternity", albeit of content is related to the previous one, its minor-pessimistic mood slightly redirects us to different images and associations. The "poems-obituaries" are often and reflect the anguish of loss of relatives and friends. It's as if the writer is preparing herself to join them. "The Breath of Eternity "- is a farewell prayer of the fascinated by life, heavily ill woman; a woman who has left a mark in many souls with her poetry.
