Synopsis "miracle fair,selected poems of wislawa szymborska"

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.

Wislawa Szymborska (Kórnik, Poland, 1923 – Krakow, 2012) was a Polish poet of great international renown, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1996. Her poetry is noted for its precision, irony, and philosophical depth, exploring themes such as everyday life, existence, and wonder at the seemingly simple

Throughout her career, she published more than fifteen books of poetry, among the most important are: "That's Why We Live" (1952), "Questions to Oneself" (1954), "Salt" (1962), "A Hundred Joys" (1967), "Large Number" (1976), "People on the Bridge" (1986), "End and Beginning" (1993), and "Here" (2009). In addition to her poetry, she wrote essays where she also showed her sharp reflection

Her work is characterized by the combination of simple and accessible language with a deep and reflective background. This approach earned her, in addition to the Nobel, awards such as the Goethe (1991) and the Herder (1995), consolidating her as an essential voice of contemporary Polish and global poetry. Szymborska distinguished herself by her ability to reveal the extraordinary in the everyday, always with a tone both serious and subtly humorous, making her a key author to understand the poetry of the 20th century.
