April 2006 Buy This Issue >> Subscribe >> Wislawa Szymborska was on staff at the weekly Zycie Literacki (literary life) from 1953 to 1981, gaining a reputation as a poet, book reviewer, and translator of French poetry. She received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1996. She lives in Krakow. Consolation by Wislawa Szymborska Darwin. They say he read novels to relax, But only certain kinds: nothing that ended unhappily. If anything like that turned up, enraged, he flung the book into the fire. True or not, I’m ready to believe it. Scanning in his mind so many times and places, he’d had enough of dying species, the triumphs of the strong over the weak, the endless struggles to survive, all doomed sooner or later. He’d earned the right to happy endings, at least in fiction with its diminutions. Hence the indispensable silver lining, the lovers reunited, the families reconciled, the doubts dispelled, fidelity rewarded, fortunes regained, treasures uncovered, stiff-necked neighbors mending their ways, good names restored, greed daunted, old maids married off to worthy parsons

Afterthoughts on Wislawa Szymborska Sally Boss The 1996 Nobel Prize went to Wislawa Szymborska, a 73-year old Polish poet. Why to her, and not to a greater poet, Zbigniew Herbert, whose record under communism was spotless (hers was not), and whose Mr. Cogito has been a rallying point for many, including a publishing house in Oregon, Mr. Cogito Press? Herbert was, and is, inspiring; Szymborska is not. Why her? It may be that the Nobel Committee was tired of heroism, of politics, of the grand themes sustaining the Soviet-occupied countries in the dark decades of communist rule. Perhaps the Nobel Committee sensed that we have entered an epoch of insignificant commonness, of "stockings, slippers, camisoles, and stays..." The typists come home, clear their breakfasts, light their stoves, and cook their Red Baron single-serving pizzas in the microwave. It is in this context that Szymborska belongs. The cities are awash with these "typists" with their TVs and their VCRs, slippers and jogging shorts. From this atmosphere to Herbert's poetry one has to take a long trip. If poetry is to be read at all by the great masses of those who read only labels on foodstuffs and seat assignments on airplane tickets, Szymborska was the right choice. Not T.S. Eliot, and not Zbigniew Herbert who was T.S. Eliot's successor. A disgruntled historian supplied me with a selection of Szymborska's poetry from the period which apparently did not interest the Nobel judges: the early 1950s. It was a breathtaking discovery. Not even Mayakovsky was a more insistent propagandist for the Soviet cause. Szymborska's poetry of that period was mendacious, but it was also powerful. Then as now, she showed her mettle by simply writing well, supporting the wrong cause to be sure, but doing so with an enviable facility of a masterful writer. Her handling of language was and is superior. She is a major talent.

The Library of Congress The End and the Beginning Wislawa Szymborska After every war someone has to clean up. Things won't straighten themselves up, after all. Someone has to push the rubble to the side of the road, so the corpse-filled wagons can pass. Someone has to get mired in scum and ashes, sofa springs, splintered glass, and bloody rags. Someone has to drag in a girder to prop up a wall, Someone has to glaze a window, rehang a door. Photogenic it's not, and takes years. All the cameras have left for another war. We'll need the bridges back, and new railway stations. Sleeves will go ragged from rolling them up. Someone, broom in hand, still recalls the way it was. Someone else listens and nods with unsevered head. But already there are those nearby starting to mill about who will find it dull. From out of the bushes sometimes someone still unearths rusted-out arguments and carries them to the garbage pile.

I prefer not to maintain that reason is to blame for everything. I prefer exceptions. I prefer to leave early. I prefer talking to doctors about something else. I prefer the old fine-lined illustrations. I prefer the absurdity of writing poems to the absurdity of not writing poems. that can be celebrated every day. I prefer moralists who promise me nothing.

The following entry presents an overview of Szymborska's career through 2002. For further information on her life and works, see CLC, Volume 99. INTRODUCTION Szymborska is considered one of the most accomplished European poets of the second half of the twentieth century. Her unsurpassed popularity in her native Poland evolved into international recognition in 1996 with her receipt of the Nobel Prize for Literature. While her literary output is relatively slight, including little more than two hundred poems published over five decades, Szymborska is nevertheless regarded as a leading figure of contemporary European letters. In her measured and elegant verse, Szymborska celebrates the miraculous qualities of the ordinary and seemingly insignificant events. Offering concrete images that suggest their own universality, Szymborska's poems evince her skeptical philosophy, often aided by her sense of humor and Socratic pose of the na¯ve questioner, stripping away clich©s to uncover hidden truths. Biographical Information Szymborska was born on July 2, 1923, in Prowent-Bnin, near Poznań, Poland. Her family moved to Krak³w when she was eight years old, and Szymborska has lived in Krak³w ever since. During the Nazi occupation of Poland, Szymborska defied official sanctions and secretly attended a banned Polish secondary school. After World War II, she entered Jagellonian University, studying Polish literature and sociology. In 1948 she married fellow poet and editor Adam Wlodek, but their marriage ended in divorce six years later. In 1952 Szymborska joined the editorial staff of the cultural periodical

Love at First Sight Wislawa Szymborska Both are convinced that a sudden surge of emotion bound them together. Beautiful is such a certainty, but uncertainty is more beautiful. Because they didn't know each other earlier, they suppose that nothing was happening between them. What of the streets, stairways and corridors where they could have passed each other long ago? I'd like to ask them whether they remember perhaps in a revolving door ever being face to face? an "excuse me" in a crowd or a voice "wrong number" in the receiver. But I know their answer: no, they don't remember. They'd be greatly astonished to learn that for a long time chance had been playing with them. Not yet wholly ready to transform into fate for them it approached them, then backed off, stood in their way and, suppressing a giggle, jumped to the side. There were signs, signals: but what of it if they were illegible. Perhaps three years ago, or last Tuesday did a certain leaflet fly from shoulder to shoulder? There was something lost and picked up. Who knows but what it was a ball in the bushes of childhood.
