WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE A remarkable, graceful collection from one of Europe’s most prominent and celebrated poets. In these 100 poems, Wislawa Szymborska portrays a world of astonishing diversity and richness, in which nature is wise and prodigal and fate unpredictable, if not mischievous. With acute irony tempered by a generous curiosity, she documents life's improbability as well as its transient beauty.
