Viscera: Eight Contemporary Polish Poets

Description

Mark Tardi

Viscera: Eight Voices from Poland, edited by Mark Tardi, presents a selection of work by Polish women writers committed to experimenting with form while shaping vigorous political critiques. As Tardi writes in the Introduction, “Each of the writers’ work in this book frustrates the limits of particular poetic concerns and together their voices comprise an archival octet that hums in ‘the breath’s hidden fissure,’ full of counterpoint, semi-chords and shards, formal daring and unapologetic verve.”

Authors include Anna Adamowicz, Joanna Oparek, Katarzyna Szaulińska, Zofia Skrzypulec, Maria Cyranowicz, Hanna Janczak, Natalia Malek, and Ilona Witkowska; translators include Mark Tardi, Lynn Suh, Małgorzata Myk, and Katarzyna Szuster-Tardi.
