Energetic, formally audacious poems by a recently rediscovered Polish writer, shining examples of art as resistance.
Zuzanna Ginczankas last poem, Non omnis moriar..." (Not all of me shall die), written shortly before her execution by the Nazis in the last months of World War II, is one of the most famous and unsettling texts in modern East European literature: a fiercely ironic last will and testament that names the person who betrayed her to the occupying authorities as a Jew, it exposes the hypocrisy at the heart of Polish nationalist myths.
Ginczankas linguistic exuberance and inventionreminiscent now of Marina Tsvetaeva, now of Marianne Moore or Mina Loyare as exhilarating as the passionate fusion of the physical world and the world of ideas she advocated in her work. Firebird brings together many of Ginczankas uncollected poems and presents On Centaurs, her sole published book, in its entirety.
This English-only edition does not include the poems in their original language.
