Miracle Fair - Selected Poems of Wislawa Szymborska (Paperback, New Ed)

"Miracle Fair is Szymborska at her very best."—Harvard Book Review END

Winner of the Heldt Prize for Translation. A new translation of the Nobel Prize-winning Polish poet, with an introduction by Czeslaw Milosz. This long-awaited volume samples the full range of Wislawa Szymborska's major themes: the ironies of love, the wonders of nature's beauty, and the illusory character of art. Szymborska's voice emerges as that of a gentle subversive, self-deprecating in its wit, yet graced with a gift for coaxing the extraordinary out of the ordinary.

"What Szymborska calls 'the joy of writing' also becomes, in this book, the joy of reading."—Edward Hirsch
