She graduated from the department of philosophy of Kyiv Shevchenko University, obtained her PhD in philosophy of arts. Her novel Field Work in Ukrainian Sex was named “the most influential Ukrainian book for the 15 years of independence”. Among her numerous acknowledgements are Global Commitment Foundation Poetry Prize and the Ukrainian National Award, the Order of Princess Olga (2009).
