Here

A "delectable and profound" collection of poems from Nobel Prize–winner Szymborska (Booklist).

When Here was published in Poland, reviewers marveled, “How is it that she keeps getting better?”

These twenty-seven poems, as rendered by prize-winning translators Clare Cavanagh and Stanislaw Baranczak, are among her greatest ever. Whether writing about her teenage self, microscopic creatures, or the upsides to living on Earth, she remains a virtuoso of form, line, and thought.
