With acute irony tempered by a generous curiosity, Szymborska documents life's improbability as well as its transient beauty to capture the wonder of existence. Preface by Mark Strand.

Seller's Description:
Very Good. 214pp, octavo, hc w/jacket, tight binding, clean and flat pages throughout, clean boards with sharp corners, gift inscription. stated first edition with letter line to"C", presumed 3rd printing of the first edition.
A book I've read in Italian... and yet, so various and colorful are the images in Szymborska's poetry that, whatever language it might be translated into, its impressive power would by no means get lost in translation. Recommended for those who enjoy the breath-taking spectacle of this everchanging world.
