Pavlo Korobchuk's poetry has been published as standalone books abroad: two volumes of selected poems in Slovak (Kameňolom and Pôžitkológia) and one in Polish (Kajfuj Kajfuj), alongside individual poems translated into around fifteen languages. He has read at literary festivals and events across Central Europe – including Literaturwerkstatt Berlin, where he was hosted as a guest of the writers' residency program, the Authors' Reading Month, and the European Literary Slam Championship.

A poet, novelist, and musician, Korobchuk built his early reputation on the international slam circuit, winning some twenty poetry slams, including cross-border competitions such as the German-Ukrainian and Belarusian-Ukrainian slams. His poetry collections move between formal play and blunt physicality, returning often to the body, technology, and transhumanism. His prose and short story collection carries the same restless, hybrid sensibility into longer form. He is also a musician, releasing the electronic albums ЧЕРВОНОЗЕМ, HOROBRO, and ZOOVSIM.
