Joseph Brodsky said somewhere that if you consider to learn a new language you should learn Polish - since the best poetry is written in that language. And Polish literature is indeed extraordinarily rich in outstanding poetry (which I unfortunately can enjoy only in translation).Mytwostotinkihttp://www.mytwostotinki.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434302889299955261.post-70489707944195169652015-05-11T18:54:08.287+01:002015-05-11T18:54:08.287+01:00Hi Rise

In Praise Of Feeling Bad About Yourself In particular.<br /><br /><br />I see what you mean about the poems appearing to be simple but having underlying depth.<br /><br /><br />I have previously read some of her poems and I feel like it is time to read more.Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.com
