Without End: New and Selected Poems - Zagajewski Adam

n nI love to swim in the sea, which keeps ntalking to itself nin the monotone of a vagabond nwho no longer recalls nexactly how long he's been on the road. nSwimming is like prayer: npalms join and part, njoin and part, nalmost without end. n--from On Swimmingn nWithout End draws from each of Adam Zagajewski's English-language collections, both in and out of print--Tremor, Canvas, and Mysticism for Beginners--and features new work that is among his most refreshing and rewarding. These poems, lucidly translated, share the vocation that allows us, in Zagajewski's words, to experience astonishment and to stop still in that astonishment for a long moment or two.n
