One of Europe's greatest recent poets is also its wisest, wittiest,
and most accessible. Nobel Prize winner Wislawa Szymborska draws us
in with her unexpected, unassuming humour. Her elegant, precise
poems pose questions we never thought to ask. "If you want the
world in a nutshell," a Polish critic remarks, "try Szymborska."
But the world held in these lapidary poems is larger than the one
we thought we knew. Carefully edited by her long time, award
winning translator, Clare Cavanagh, the poems in Map trace
Szymborska's work until her death in 2012. Of the approximately two
hundred and fifty poems included here, nearly forty are newly
translated; thirteen represent the entirety of the poet's last
Polish collection, Enough, never before published in English. Map
is the first English publication of Szymborska's work since the
acclaimed Here, and it offers her devoted readers a welcome return
to her "ironic elegance" (The New Yorker).
