Miracle Fair: Selected Poems of Wislawa Szymborska

Winner of the Heldt Prize for Translation. A new translation of the Nobel Prize-winning Polish poet, with an introduction by Czeslaw Milosz. This long-awaited volume samples the full range of Wislawa Szymborskas major themes: the ironies of love, the wonders of natures beauty, and the illusory character of art. Szymborskas voice emerges as that of a gentle subversive, self-deprecating in its wit, yet graced with a gift for coaxing the extraordinary out of the ordinary.
