ABSTRACT

Marzanna Kielar’s poetry first caught my eye in Carnivorous Boy, Carnivorous Bird, an anthology of younger Polish poets that Zephyr brought out in 2004. Now this inquisitive and resourceful small press, focused on Russian and Eastern European literature, has published a first selection of Kielar’s sensuous and deep-probing verse. As in the anthology, Elzbieta Wójcik-Leese has provided an engaging translation.
