The Forgotten Keys: Selected Poetry of Tomasz Rozycki

Overview

Through a critical introduction and translations of a selection of poems from Tomasz Rózycki’s five collections, this volume introduces readers to a contemporary Polish poet who expands on the historicism of Czeslaw Milosz and Zbigniew Herbert. Rózycki explores both personal and collective memory in hypnotic and fiercely exacting poems.
