Summary/Abstract: K. Mordatenko differs among Ukrainian poets of the past and present, because many of his poems have sacral thematic, touch biblical images and plots, rethink ontological and spiritual problems of humanity, etc. As the connoisseur of the author’s texts mentions: ,,his poetry is not smooth. The author’s word formations or forgotten words rediscovered by him firstly alert a reader, but they don’t look like foreign inclusions, conversely, they excite emotional perception of said, give deep national sounding to it”. It allows the artist to have specific, deeply individual poetic vision of historical philosophy of whole humanity. We considered religious poems, in particular, brightly and repeatedly issued image of the Mother of God in works of K. Mordatenko. The author approves mentioned theme in specific way and in different aspects, gives it new sounding and senses. Prospects of further investigations consist in that it is necessary to investigate in details another as well approved image in the texts of the artist – penetrating symbol of the Son of God.
