LibraryThing Review: Collection of poetry.....I must admit that much of this poetry was over my head, which, for me, means that the poem did not evoke anything emotionally or intellectually other than some frustration. It was translated from the original Polish, and I still did not understand some of the vocabulary! However, the poems to which I did respond were absolutely beautiful! My favorite was one entitled, "The Oceans". Its verses tossed and turned, crested the waves, and slid into the abyss.....very satisfying! Tough read!
