Lina graduated with distinction from the Maxim Gorky Literature Institute in Moscow in 1956. Following her graduation she published three collections of poetry in 1957, 1958, and 1961. These books became immensely popular among her Ukrainian readers, however they also forced her into publication silence as she was unwilling to submit to Soviet authorities.

“На світі можна жить без еталонів,
по-різному дивитися на світ:
широкими очима,
з-під долоні,
крізь пальці,
у кватирку,
з-за воріт.
Від того світ не зміниться нітрохи.
А все залежить від людських зіниць -
в широких відіб'ється вся епоха,
у звужених - збіговисько дрібниць.”

“І все на світі треба пережити.
І кожен фініш — це, по суті, старт.
І наперед не треба ворожити,
і за минулим плакати не варт.”
― Lina Kostenko, Триста поезій
