He spent much of his life in forced exile for his political agitation including during the period when the present anthology was prepared.

In 1889 in Irkutsk he was again imprisoned; released in 1893 he was forced to live in Viliuisk Yakutsk from 1897 and Tobolsk from 1899 where he died of a pulmonary illness. Hrabovsky corresponded from prison with Galicia's Ukrainians who published his poetry and literary criticism in the journal Pravda Zoria Lviv Dzvinok Narod Zhytie i slovo and Literaturno-naukovyi vistnyk. As a poet he rejected 'art for art's sake' and wrote mainly social political and patriotic verse; he sought out consonant motifs in the works of many Russian European and American poets he translated" Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine article by Ivan Koshelivets.<br /> <br /> As of October 2024 KVK OCLC show only one copy worldwide at Harvard. unknown
