Description

Widely held to be the most influential Polish poet of a generation that includes Czeslaw Milosz and Wislawa Szymborska, Tadeusz Rózewicz gives voice in the sharpest, most disturbing way to the crisis of values that has plagued our civilization. Joanna Trzeciak's new translation displays Rózewicz's supernatural simplicity, his stark diction and sudden turns. From "regression into the primordial soup"      finally I too came into the world      in the year 1921 and suddenly . . .      atchoo! time passes I am old and forgot where I put my glasses      I forgot there was      history Caesar Hitler Mata Hari      Stalin capitalism communism      Einstein Picasso Al Capone      Alka Seltzer Al Qaeda

Media Reviews

"Striking . . . chilling. . . . [Rozewicz’s work] embodies that particular anxiety and familiar sense of diminishment we still associate with being ‘modern.’" -- The Nation
"Rozewicz is that rare character—a skeptic as full of passion as of intelligence, of warmth as wariness." -- judges’ citation, Griffin Poetry Prize
"Instead of answers, the poet offers only an examination. Like it or not, he says, this is all we have: a fragment, a glimpse, a rustle." -- New Republic
