But her poems are also, to use an old word, `deep,' mysteriously so, about the very nature of existence.\" -Adam Gopnick, the New YorkerFrom the Nobel Prize winner, a classic collection of witty and contemplative poems, featuring a foreword by Billy CollinsIn Monologue of a Dog, Wislawa Szymborska writes with her signature mix of intellect and humor about everything from love unremembered to keys lost in the grass, finding in the smallest moments a path to the vast questions of existence. What begins as a passing thought ends, in her hands, as an x-ray of the human condition.   This bilingual edition, with translations from the incomparable Clare Kavanagh, serves as a perfect introduction for new readers and an essential companion for devoted fans.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56367768764789,"sku":"9780063490420","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780063490420.jpg?v=1773825487","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780063490420","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
