Wislanska Szymborska: the Poetics of Place
Posted on 2008-08-24 by irss11

“for poetry that with ironic precision allows the historical as well as biological context to come to light in fragments of human reality”

These words were written by Wislanska Szymborska who won the Nobel Prize on behalf of Literature in 1996. Among her numerous poems, she wrote “Museum” in 1962 in a poetry collection referred to as “Salt” as well as “Archaeology” in 1986 in a poetry collection referred to as “The People on the Bridge”. I find her poetry quite inspirational. Maybe I’ll have my friend Michael (not Ashley) set it to music as well as create something on behalf of our Remediated Places project with it. I’ll write as well as request her if I can re-purpose it in this way.

To see a copy of “Museum” it is published, legally or illegally here
