The collected poems, 1956-1998 / Zbigniew Herbert ; translated and edited by Alissa Valles ; with additional translations by Czeslaw Milosz and Peter Dale Scott ; introduction by Adam Zagajewski.

Herbert, Zbigniew. (Author). Valles, Alissa. (Added Author).

Summary:

From the Publisher: Every great poet lives between two worlds. One of these is the real, tangible world of history, private for some and public for others. The other world is a dense layer of dreams, imagination, fantasms. It sometimes happens-that this second world takes on gigantic proportions, that it becomes inhabited by numerous spirits, that it is haunted by Leo Africanus and other ancient magi.
