In this collection of contemplative, witty, and always surprising poems, Wislawa Szymborska writes with verve about everything from love unremembered to keys mislaid in the grass, from small-scale naughtiness to the happiness of skating on this ice, from the district firemen's ball to the cosmos. "The wry and slyly tender voice of Wislawa Szymborska couldn't belong to anyone else" (Mark Doty).
