Overview
From Nobel Prize–winning poet Wisława Szymborska, a dazzling bilingual collection of verse that reveals her signature themes and techniques
Sounds, Feelings, and Thoughts is a superb introduction to the work of Nobel Prize–winning poet Wisława Szymborska (1923–2012), who is widely regarded as one of the greatest poets since World War II. Carefully selected and skillfully translated by Magnus Krynski and Robert Maguire, this book presents a broad and representative selection of Szymborska’s poetry and features the original Polish poems on pages facing the English translations. The book demonstrates the hallmarks of Szymborska’s verse—high seriousness, delightful inventiveness, a prodigal imagination, and enormous technical skill. Writing of the diversity, plenitude, and richness of the world, she takes delight in observing and naming its phenomena, looking on with wonder, astonishment, and amusement.
