About the Book

Zbigniew Herbert is one of the outstanding poets of the last century. This exceptional new translation brings together, for the first time in English in one volume, his entire poetic output - from his first book of poems, String of Light, in 1956, to his volume, previously unpublished in English, Epilogue of the Storm. As Joseph Brodsky said of Herbert's Selected Poems, this definitive collection is 'bound for a much longer haul than any of us can anticipate'.

About the Author :
Zbigniew Herbert (1924-1998) was a spiritual leader of the anticommunist movement in Poland. His work has been translated into almost every European language, and he won numerous prizes including the Jerusalem Prize and the T. S. Eliot Prize. His books include Selected Poems, Report from the Besieged City and Other Poems, Mr Cognito, Still Life with a Bridle, and King of the Ants. This volume is edited and translated from the Polish by Alissa Valles, with additional translations by Czeslaw Milosz and Peter Dale Scott, and an introduction by Adam Zagajewski.

Review :
"'Herbert is a poet with all the strength of an Antaeus... He shoulders the whole sky and the scope of human dignity and responsibility.' Seamus Heaney * 'Zbigniew Herbert was one of the greatest Polish writers of this century. He is a figure comparable to, say, T. S. Eliot or W. H. Auden.' New Yorker * 'Herbert's poems, even in English, seem to me finer than anything currently being written by any English or American poet.' A. Alvarez, New York Review of Books 'One of the great poets of our time.' Charles Simic, New York Times 'A standout... A strapping posthumous compendium that for the first time places all the essential work of this indispensable modern poet in the hands of English-speaking readers.' Boston Globe 'Now, nearly 10 years after his death, Herbert's voice is gathered, uncensored and unimaginably strong, in one dynamic volume.' San Francisco Chronicle"
