Reviews
Rózewicz is a poet of chaos with a nostalgia for order. Around him and in himself he sees only broken fragments, a senseless rush. --Czeslaw Milosz I am building a bridge to link the past with the future, " Tadeusz Rózewicz writes, and that's precisely what he does in these stark, forthright, and talkative new poems, which Bill Johnston has brought into English with great keenness, clarity and intelligence. Rózewicz is an essential Polish poet, and this book stakes his brave claim. --Edward Hirsch His poems are extraordinary in their ordinariness. --Jan Miodek, Gazeta Wyborcza Wroclaw Another chapter in Rózewicz's great poetic reckoning with the age in which it fell to him to live--a reckoning with his own biography, with poetry, with art, and with the mystery of human existence. --Tygodnik Powszechny, on gray zone The startling juxtaposition of sensual and brutal histories, of human and animal flesh, of the experience of war and of writing is Rózewicz's great achievement... --The Guardian I cannot imagine what post-war Polish poetry would have looked like without the poems of Tadeusz Rózewicz. We all owe something to him, though not all of us are able to admit it. --Wislawa Szymborska New Poems gives us reason to celebrate, not only because a poet whose mastery is indisputable has authored it, but because it may very well deepen our understanding of what Polish poetry is and what it's been up to lately. --Piotr Florczyk This book is filled with humor, irony, and language play; it inspires laughter and hope... Rózewicz seeks to shock with his juxtapositions, to demonstrate how much depends on one's perspective; he seeks to de-automatize thought... A superb reflection of reality. --Izabela Mikrut, on exit, Rózewicz is a poet of chaos with a nostalgia for order.

Synopsis
"The startling juxtaposition of sensual and brutal histories, of human and animal flesh, of the experience of war and of writing is R'zewicz's great achievement throughout twenty volumes of poetry."-Guardian From the earliest days of his poetic career, Tadeusz R'zewicz found a unique, pared-down style that consciously avoided metaphor and sought a new, painfully clear voice in which to express the horrors of wartime experiences. His work was immediately recognized as new and vital in Polish poetry, and he came to be regarded as one of the most important writers of his generation. New Poems is a collection of R'zewicz's three latest volumes in their entirety: exit (1998), the professor's knife (2001), and gray zone (2002)., 'R$sewicz is a poet of chaos with a nostalgia for order. Around him and in himself he sees only broken fragments, a senseless rush.' - Czeslaw Milosz, Written in a pared-down, direct language, and filled with allusions to everything from philosophy to TV talk shows, the poetry of Tadeusz R zewicz encompasses the complexity of human experience in the early 21st century. R zewicz's unique voice, formed during his experiences as a member of the Polish resistance in World War II, and honed by decades living under communist rule, holds a merciless mirror up to the crimes and excesses of the poet's lifetime. In his eighties now, R zewicz continues to be a prolific writer and an acerbic commentator on his life and times. This collection combines his latest three volumes: professor's knife, gray zone, and exit. These are extraordinary poems from an acknowledged European master.
