Heart of the swallow/have mercy on them
Great Poetry That Is, For The Most Part, Accessible To All.
A playful yet powerful poetic voice from Poland
On Szymborska Miracle Fair begins with "Commemoration" and "Openness," which attempt to situate mortal beings in a natural world full of splendor, mystery, and awesome wonder.This is a lovely collection, which includes "A Dream," "Cat in an Empty Apartment," and "Love At First Sight."There are other moving and poignant poems here, such as "Starvation Camp at Jaslo," and "Turn of the Century." S's verse is very human in the sense that it reminds us of the smallness of daily existence and the saving grace that can be found in the 'whispering trees.'It also has a vision of historical integration, whereby the ghosts of unfortunate memories speak to us softly.
Wonderful poems on important things I reread these poems after the events of September 11th and was astonished to findso much of use to me in thinking about the unthinkable, really.In "A Thank-You Note," she writes "I owe a lot/to those I do not love." In the incredible "Cat in an Empty Apartment" Szymborska takes a cat's point of view, noting "Something here isn't starting/at its usual time./Somethinghere isn't happening as it should./Somebody had been here and had been,/ and then had stubbornly disappeared/and now is stubbornly absent." Szymborska knows that there are not only unimaginable horrors in the world, but also"miracles," small truths that are awesome and often wonderful- not because of any religious or magical event, but because they remind us, once again, of our humanity and of what good things might be possible. She treasures ordinary life,love, physicality - and communion. Her poems on love (and lovers) are beautiful, and beautifully simple. She cautions against war in "The End and the Beginning," reminding the reader that "After every war/someone has to clean up./Things won't/straighten themselves up, after all." She wryly and trenchantly describes war's motives in "Hatred."Hatred, she insists, "is not like other feelings," and "gives birth to causes/which rouse it to life." Szymborska's vision is one worth taking in, reflecting upon, and learning from. Current events aside, Szymborska's a terrific teacher of poetry. This is a wonderful collection of poems. ...
