The Great Plan B

Bargielska is one of the most distinctive young poets writing in Polish today. She has published eight poetry collections, won the Rainer Maria Rilke poetry competition, and twice won the Gdynia Literary Prize. Although her work has already been translated into six languages, this is the first time her poems have been collected in English. The Great Plan B introduces English readers to the work of a poet who examines, with forensic precision, the landscapes of quotidian existence, our disappointments, and humiliations. These poems are witty, tongue-in-cheek, both self-deprecating and macabre.
