The most interesting thing about her poetry is that it was originally published in a Slavic language and still retains it&#8217;s beauty translated into English.  I would feel fortunate to write one thing in a single language that came across so fluently. I highly recommend picking up her &#8220;Poems New and Collected&#8221; edition.\u00a0 The phrasing has a simple elegance about it that really doesn&#8217;t compare to anyone else and she has a way of sneaking up on you with a punch in the end.\u00a0 My personal favorite is her poem &#8220;The Joy of Writing&#8221;, which you can read <a href=\"http:\/\/nobelprize.org\/nobel_prizes\/literature\/laureates\/1996\/szymborska-poems-5-e.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> on the Nobel Prize website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you don&#8217;t know this author, you should.
