Kamienska came of age during the horrors of the Nazi occupation of
Poland and lived under Communism. These experiences, as well as the
sudden death of her husband, led her to engagement with the Bible
and the great religious thinkers of the 20th century.
Her poems record the struggles of a rational mind with religious
faith, addressing loneliness and uncertainty in a remarkably
direct, unsentimental manner. Her spiritual quest has resulted in
extraordinary poems on Job, other biblical personalities, and
victims of the Holocaust. Other poems explore the meaning of loss,
grief, and human life. Still, her poetry expresses a fundamentally
religious sense of gratitude for her own existence and that of
other human beings, as well as for myriad creatures, such as
hedgehogs, birds and "young leaves willing to open up to the sun."
