The 1980 Nobel Prize-winning Polish immigrant poet has been publishing his emotional, political poetry since 1931, when he was in his early 20s. These confrontational poems, many translated with Robert Hass and Robert Pinsky, struggle with the dilemmas and tragedies of the 20th century. Presented in the poet's 90th year, this volume collects his oeuvre thus far. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.
