Alexander Polischuk is originally from Ukraine. Even as a schoolboy, he developed a love for literature, reading a lot and writing poetry, which he never showed to anyone, just for himself. Living in a country where everyone said there was no God, he often pondered the universe and always searched for Him. In his youth, he had a personal encounter with the Almighty when he first crossed the threshold of a church. Feelings of joy and answers to many philosophical questions overwhelmed him, and unexpectedly for the poet, line after line poured out onto paper.
