Journal 42 – Wislawa Szymborska, the famous Polish poet

Wislawa Szymborska, 83, the Polish poet, won the 1996 Nobel Prize in Literature and numerous other awards. She is generally considered the most popular living Polish poet. Szymborska’s compact poems often conjure large existential puzzles. Her style is marked by intellectual introspection. Also, Szymborska explored Communist totalitarianism. She has not published more than 250 poems. As a person, she is very humbly and shy.
In the next journal I will send you one Szymborska’s poem which is related to topic of my journals - Twentieth Century.
