Items related to The Collected Poems 1956 - 1998
Zbigniew Herbert is one of the outstanding poets of the last century. This exceptional new translation brings together, for the first time in English in one volume, his entire poetic output - from his first book of poems, String of Light, in 1956, to his final volume, previously unpublished in English, Epilogue of the Storm. As Joseph Brodsky said of Herbert's Selected Poems, this definitive collection is 'bound for a much longer haul than any of us can anticipate'.

Review:
Not only Poland's finest poet but also one of the best of the 20th century... His wry poems are modern, European, mischievous and frequently breathtaking.
-- James Hopkin, Guardian
