  <description><![CDATA[From a writer whom Charles Simic calls &quot;one of the finest poets living&quot; comes a collection of witty, compassionate, contemplative, and always surprising poems. Szymborska writes with verve about everything from love unremembered to keys mislaid in the grass. The poems will appear, for the first time, side by side with the Polish originals, in a book to delight new and old readers alike. <br/><br/>EVERYTHING <br/>Everything- <br/>a bumptious, stuck-up word. <br/>It should be written in quotes. <br/>It pretends to miss nothing, <br/>to gather, hold, contain, and have. <br/>While all the while it's just <br/>a shred of a gale. <br/><br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[Wislawa Szymborska is how old now? 85? But these poems, her most recent to have been translated into English, at least to my knowledge, are not the poems of an old lady.

    <body><![CDATA[Amazingly, Szymborska continues to improve. Now in her 80s, the Polish poet’s newest collection (poems originally copyrighted in Polish for 2002) is as strong and fresh as any she’s written, which given that she is who she is is no small feat. It’s a collection where each poem wants re-reading...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13641983">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Szymborska uses a number of themes in her poetry, each of which are drawn from ordinary events and objects.  I found her style to be easy to read.  She is capable of saying more than one thing at once, without becoming muddy with an over-use of analogy in her poetry.<br/><br/>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[From a writer whom Charles Simic calls &quot;one of the finest poets living&quot; comes a collection of witty, compassionate, contemplative, and always surprising poems. Szymborska writes with verve about everything from love unremembered to keys mislaid in the grass. The poems will appear, for the first time, side by side with the Polish originals, in a book to delight new and old readers alike. <br/><br/>EVERYTHING <br/>Everything- <br/>a bumptious, stuck-up word. <br/>It should be written in quotes. <br/>It pretends to miss nothing, <br/>to gather, hold, contain, and have. <br/>While all the while it's just <br/>a shred of a gale. <br/><br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[From a writer whom Charles Simic calls &quot;one of the finest poets living&quot; comes a collection of witty, compassionate, contemplative, and always surprising poems. Szymborska writes with verve about everything from love unremembered to keys mislaid in the grass. The poems will appear, for the first time, side by side with the Polish originals, in a book to delight new and old readers alike. <br/><br/>EVERYTHING <br/>Everything- <br/>a bumptious, stuck-up word. <br/>It should be written in quotes. <br/>It pretends to miss nothing, <br/>to gather, hold, contain, and have. <br/>While all the while it's just <br/>a shred of a gale. <br/><br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>
