| | 1. |  | Poems New and Collected from Harvest Books Price: $11.56
Customer Review:
 This is a Valentine poem to Wislawa's poems. I do not speak Polish, but my old mother does, and besides I find it

 I love Wislawa Szymborska. Although I am not a fan of poetry in general, I began reading this book of her thoughts and feelings and criticisms which are never vicious, cruel, or even negative.
