The Trap

Traces the course of Polish poetry from Norwid to the New Wave, virtually the whole of this century.--Polish Heritage. "Informative and engaging...Composed of three distinctly structured sections. The first, the most ambitious...consists of two essays by Czerniawski that together attempt to provide a background for the rest of the contributions...In Part 2, seven English writers comment on a single Polish poem that is particularly meaningful to them. These are light but intriguing...The third section is composed of ten solid essays in literary criticism by English writers who know Polish poetry only in translation and by emigre Polish writers and scholars. The blend of interests and perspectives is particularly effective and fascinating. Recommended for the general reader of poetry, graduate and upper-division undergraduate levels."--Choice.

The Mature Laurel

Poets' Voices is an international series of books with audio CD's which present collections of poems by significant poets whose work is not available in existing publications. Their poems appear in the original language, together with an English translation on the facing page. With each book, whenever possible, there is a CD recording of the poet reading poems in the collection in the original language and when feasible, in the English translations. Poets' Voices will also feature monographs on key poets about whose lives, works, and influence little is currently available.Czerniawski writes distinctive, challenging, and engaging poems. Since the late seventies he has been a significant presence in Polish poetry. Influenced by his remarkable international and multicultural experiences. Czerniawski debates, enacts or meditates obliquely on puzzles and questions of perception, memory, and representation. A CD featuring readings of a selection of the poems in Polish and in English accompanies this book.
