"The highway became the Red Sea.
We moved through the storm like a sheer valley.
You drove; I looked at you with love.""
--from "Storm"
"One of the most gifted and readable poets of his time, Adam
Zagajewski is proving to be a contemporary classic. Few writers in
either poetry or prose can be said to have attained the lucid
intelligence and limpid economy of style that have become a matter
of course with Zagajewski. It is these qualities, combined with his
wry humor, gentle skepticism, and perpetual sense of history's dark
possibilities, that have earned him a devoted international
following. This collection, gracefully translated by Clare
Cavanagh, finds the poet reflecting on place, language, and
history. Especially moving here are his tributes to writers,
friends known in person or in books--people such as Milosz and
Sebald, Brodsky and Blake--which intermingle naturally with
portraits of family members and loved ones. "Eternal Enemies" is a
luminous meeting of art and everyday life.
