Nobel Prize winner Wislawa Szymborska draws us in with her unexpected, unassuming humor. \"If you want the world in a nutshell,\" a Polish critic remarked, \"try Szymborska.\" But the world held in these lapidary poems is larger than the one we thought we knew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEdited by her longtime, award-winning translator, Clare Cavanagh, Map traces Szymborska's work until her death in 2012. Of the approximately two hundred fifty poems included here, nearly forty are newly translated; thirteen represent the entirety of the poet's last Polish collection, Enough, never before published in English. Map offers Szymborska's devoted readers a welcome return to her \"ironic elegance\" ( The New Yorker ).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Her poems offer a restorative wit as playful as it is steely and as humble as it is wise . . .
