A review by schellenbergk
Here by Wisława Szymborska

A great poet died this month. This is her last book, and it's a fine one. There are several recurring themes.. Dialogues with entities not human (with aliens explain what life is like "Here" on Earth, with her teenage self, with an idea for a poem, with a poet dead for centuries. Other poems deal with tragic events.. Accidents, a divorce, an apocalyptic event. But the best poem is the last.. She exits literature with a poem about poetry. Simply wonderful.
