aliceboule's review against another edition

Wislawa Szymborska is amazing poet. Her poetry is both compelling and personal. She uses the variety of poetic techiques available to her with astonshing ease and elegance.
I feel as though her themes are universal and relate to every single reader: this is most likely why her poetry is so powerful.
If looking for poetry to read, Wislawa szymborska's is definetly the place to start!

Just amazing.
Economical, humane and entertaining, Szymborska creates poems that are like patches of clear sky and sunlight on a cloudy day, elegant, eloquent and elegiac.

"Bookstores don't provide
a remote control for Proust,
you can't switch
to a soccer match,
or a quiz show, win a Cadillac.
We live longer
but less precisely
and in shorter sentences.
We travel faster, farther, more often,
but bring back slides instead of memories.
Here I am with some guy.
There I guess that's my ex.
Here everyone's naked
so this must be a beach."

This was a delightful discovery and I can't wait to read more of her work.
