Continued is a selection of poems by Piotr Sommer, spanning his
career to date. A kind of poetic utterance, these "talk poems" are
devoid of any singsong quality yet faithfully preserve all the
melodies and rhythms of colloquial speech. Events and objects of
ordinary, everyday life are related and described by the speaker in
a deliberately deadpan manner. Yet a closer look at the language he
uses, with all its ironic inflections and subtle "intermeanings,"
reveals that the poem's "message" should be identified more with
the way it is spoken than with what it says. The poems in this
volume were translated into English with the help of other notable
poets, writers, and translators, including John Ashbery, D.J.
Enright, and Douglas Dunn.
