Our Life Grows
by Ryszard Krynicki, translated from the Polish by Alissa Valles, afterword by Adam Michnik
Praise
Krynicki has a rare gift of naming things even in shortest poems; he goes straight to the essence. Among Polish poets and readers he has the reputation of a master, of an archer who never misses.
—Adam Zagajewski
His dense verbal play, his allusive language, was always a way of challenging official speech and ideology, normative language, normative feeling.
—Edward Hirsch
