go ! read ! this ! these poems are original (both in form and content, i was pleasantly surprised), thought-provoking and striking: wisława has a very unique and well-defined voice that i personally loved. she deals with life, love, hate, mortality, the past, the dead, the universe and the people that live in it. she’s a genius poet but also very human: her words never feel pretentious or hard to get. on the contrary, i found her work incredibly accessible, enchanting and, i’d dare to say, eternal. i’m so happy i read this, definitely one of my best discoveries in 2021 so far (and to think that i would’ve missed this if my town's library wasn’t literally just about to throw it out !).
