Yanka Sipakov “… has managed to compose the ode to the Belarusian people, the hymn to the Belarusian house and to the Motherland …”, – wrote literary critic Olga Shinkarenko about one of his recent books – “The Green Leaf on the Earth”. Such words are relevant to all works of poet and writer Yanka Sipakov.
The exhibition consists of four subject sections presenting the writer’s literary heritage, his poetic translations and books about Yanka Sipakov’s life and career.
