Before that, I guzzled her lines like someone forever thirsty. Instead of quenching my thirst, though, I was spilling over - too much, too soon, binging on one poem after another. Slow down, sip and swirl each word, each line, I told myself. So I did. I had to. Reading Szymborska proves an entirely new way of looking at poetry, maybe a fourteenth way? There is another poet whose complete tomes of poetry I gobble up in one sitting, propped up by a pillow, traveling along like in a neverending story. But Szymborska's gripping images and wickedly witty syntax wraps me in a boxing hold, rendering me stationary, gasping for air. And then, there is that vast and vibrant mosaic in her poems made up of cultural, historical, and humanistic allusions that feel so close to skin rather than any history lesson: from a Kyoto hotel to the Holocaust to an onion to Brueghel. One commenter mused if one can add to a Nobel Prize winner's praise. I can't. But I can tell you how much she gives me.I have one wish, though, that I could speak Polish, more than just the few conversational phrases. Bravura translation it is, then. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great poet. The translation could be more nuanced. *by L***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 20, 2015* Great poet. The translation however is not my favorite. Claire Cavanagh and Stanislaw Baranczak have won prizes for their translation, but it is so clear that it leaves no space for multiple meanings. For example, in the poem "Four in the Morning" one of the lines is "the hour of tossing and turning." Crystal clear. In another translation (by Magus Krynski and Robert Maguire) that line is "the hour from side to side." It gives work to our imagination.As a poet, Szymborska has solid, interesting things to say (especially social commentary) and unlike most poets she can be well understood even in translation. Sometimes her humor borders on the sarcastic, which takes some getting used to, for someone used to the more mellow American poets. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/10291532-poems-new-and-collected-1957-1997-nobel-prize-winners-definitive](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/10291532-poems-new-and-collected-1957-1997-nobel-prize-winners-definitive) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
