The first complete English translation of Ewa Lipska's exciting
"Dear Ms. Schubert" poems Ewa Lipska is one of Europe's most
compelling and important poets, but relatively little of her recent
work has been translated into English. A Polish-English bilingual
edition, Dear Ms. Schubert is the first complete collection of her
remarkable poetic postcards addressed to "Ms. Schubert," a
mysterious contemporary European everywoman. Written by a certain
Mr. Schmetterling ("Mr. Butterfly"), these brief, intimate poems
are by turns philosophical, political, and playfully erotic.
Combining subversive wit and surrealist imagery, they slowly reveal
the contours of a shared secret life played out against a turbulent
historical backdrop-a relationship that strikes a precarious
balance between deep cultural skepticism and authentic love.
Featuring the original Polish text and the English translation on
facing pages, Dear Ms. Schubert is a highly original and appealing
book from a poet who richly deserves a wide English-language
readership.
