Publisher Description: A vital new poet in the Polish language.-- Adam Zagajewski Tomasz R zycki's sixth book seems like nothing if not an attempt to grapple with Elizabeth Bishop's question, Should we have stayed at home and thought of here? But for R zycki questions of travel and foreignness are never separate from those of history--personal history, political and national history, the history of things and places and trauma. Coffee and Cigarettes When I began to write, I didn't know a high till coming down, then go to bed your nakedness or even just your sighing. I would become the visible, in bed Tomasz R zycki has published six books of poetry, including The Forgotten Keys, winner of the Koscielski Prize. He has been nominated twice for the Nike Prize, Poland's most important literary award. He lives in his hometown, Opole, with his wife and two children. Mira Rosenthal has received NEA and Fulbright grants and held fellowships at the MacDowell Colony and the Vermont Studio Center. Her poetry has appeared in journals such as Ploughshares, The American Poetry Review, Slate, and the Notre Dame Review. |
