Poetry. Translated from the Polish by Regina Grol-Prokopczyk. Using words, expressions, images and sounds from a variety of sources; popular magic, songs heard in her childhood, music of Bach, everyday conversations and works of great philosophers, Uszula Koziol established herself as one of the most important voices in Polish poetry. In an idiom similar to Paul Celan, Koziol takes the reader into diverse and unique topics from the world of a snowflake to the life of Circe. She is a poet with the fine sensibility of our time who has embarked on the quest for the knowledge of reality, and comments on all aspects of that reality, including the precariousness of life, relationships and humankind's survival with intensity and intelligence. A bilingual collection every serious student of 20th century poetry should have on their shelf.

This review is from: Poems (Urszula Koziol) (Paperback)
I came across the poetry of Urszula Koziol by chance, but since I began to read her work, I have fallen in love with poetry all over again. The simplicity of her language should not be mistaken for simplicity of thought. Her images are refreshing and poignant. an elegant writer and a definite worthwhile addition for any poetry lover's collection.
