The World Shared: Lannan Translations Selection Series
Autor Dariusz Sosnicki Traducere de Piotr Florczyk, Boris Dralyuken Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 iun 2014
Dariusz Sosnicki's poems open our eyes to the sublime just beneath the surface of the mundane: a train carrying children away from their parents for summer vacation turns into a ravenous monster; a meal at a Chinese restaurant inspires a surreal journey through the zodiac; a malfunctioning printer is a reminder of the ghosts that haunt us no matter where we find ourselves.
Among the perpetrators and victims,
buzzed or wasted to the bone,
gliding without their blinkers on
in the ruts of the national fate—they're not at home.

Recenzii
“The World Shared is a dream-catalogue of surrealist riffs and humble strangeness." —Biblioasis
"This first American book from the prolific and celebrated Polish poet and critic not only survives translation; its urbane, articulate, unpredictable free verse positively flourishes in the American English that the facing-page edition provides ... the poetry introduced here has come to stay." —Publishers Weekly
"[The World Shared] is destined to become an international classic ... Sosnicki is a fearless and tenacious intellectual whose poetry exhibits flashes of brilliance that illuminate our most obscure and often unacknowledged fears about contemporary life." —The Journal
"Sosnicki has loads of talent, and this volume offers North American readers entry into his necessary poetry ... “Sosnicki reaches out to each of us, tries to wipe the anonymity off our faces, and to recover, if not rescue us, as an archeologist recovers a mud-smeared amulet from a deep stratum.” —Entropy
