Description

This collection represents the best work of the Nobel Prize-winning Polish poet, Wislawa Szymborska. Including an introduction by Czeslaw Miosz, this volume samples the full range of Szymborska's major themes: the ironies of love, the wonders of nature's beauty and the illusory character of art. Her voice emerges through Joanna Tzeciak's elegant translations as that of a gentle subversive, graced with a gift for coaxing the extraordinary out of the ordinary.
