Poetry. Translation. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Polish by Mira Rosenthal. Tomasz Różycki's sixth book seems like nothing if not an attempt to grapple with Elizabeth Bishop's question, Should we have stayed at home and thought of here? But for Różycki questions of travel and foreignness are never separate from those of history--personal history, political and national history, the history of things and places and trauma.

A vital new poet in the Polish language.--Adam Zagajewski
