From the jacket flap
A new collected volume from the Nobel Prize winning poet that includes, for the first time in English, all of the poems from her last Polish collection
One of Europe s greatest poets, Nobel Prize winner Wislawa Szymborska was also its wisest, wittiest, and most accessible. With unexpected humor, her elegant, precise poems pose questions we never thought to ask. If you want the world in a nutshell, a Polish critic has remarked, try Szymborska. But the world held in these lapidary poems is larger than the one we thought we knew.
Carefully edited by her longtime, award-winning translator, Clare Cavanagh, the poems inMaptrace Szymborska s work until her death in 2012. Of the approximately two hundred fifty poems included here, nearly forty are newly translated; thirteen represent the entirety of the poet s last Polish collection, Enough, never before published in English.
Mapis the first English publication of Szymborska s work since the acclaimedHere, and it offers her devoted readers a welcome return to her ironic elegance (The New Yorker)."
