At the height of his powers
26 July 2000
Format:Hardcover
This is quite simply one of the best books of poetry I've ever read. Don't be fooled by the fact that it starts out with shorter poems (some of which have less impact)-- one can only understand the fineness of this book when contemplating it as a whole. It is a book that should be read from beginning to end. These are heartbreaking poems. "Summer' is only one of my many favorites. Adam Zagajewski is one of the finest poets writing today. I recommend this book to everyone who reads poetry.

Excellent, like water on ice in the sun
14 Nov 1998
Format:Hardcover
Zagajewski is an amazing talent, with the ability to paint pictures--images, not representations--both warm and cold, painful but filled with loving insight. This is a poet who knows the limit experience, but can speak of it like he was sitting at your kitchen table over taboule and coffee. A wonderful gift of words to the world.

a treasure
29 Sep 1998
Format:Hardcover
Zagajewski's work is a treasure -- poems here are the best to come from Europe in a long time. This is a major poet who has no equals in his generation. The mysticism here is how to be a human being. Though it comes from Europe, this book is about ourselves. We should bow our heads for this is the voice of Orpheus speaking.
