Nobel Laureate Mo Yan said in the preface of the book Ihor Pavlyuk "A Flight over the Black Sea":

I know that a nebulous terrain exists in the hearts and minds of every person, a terrain that cannot be adequately characterized in simple terms of right and wrong or good and bad. I see this ambiguity in Ihor Pavlyuk’s works and I am happy in the knowledge that there is a very good poet in Ukraine.[29]
