Szymborska WisławaBorn in Bnin (near Poznan) in 1923, throughout her life she was connected with Cracow, where she studied and where she lived and worked until her death in 2012. A poet and essayist, Wislawa Szymborska won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1996. She became world famous thanks to translations published in English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Czech, Slovak, Swedish, Bulgarian, Albanian and Chinese.
Szymborska’s work represents a puzzling phenomenon: she electrifies her readers despite being modest, introverted, discreet and hushed. The simplicity of her poetry defies the theorizing of scholars while unerringly zeroing in on the tastes of contemporary readers. Szymborska reaches out to her readers over the heads of critics and without the help of the mass media. Her poetry collections sell in numbers usually associated with popular novels. What accounts for Szymborska's popularity and success? An individual style, an otherness and an exclusivity understood as a creative condition and an existential autonomy. Never associating herself with any poetical school, she has created her own craft of writing and her own language that maintains its distance from great historical events, the biological conditioning of human existence, the social role of the poet, and also from philosophical systems, ideologies, truths taken on faith, habits, stereotypes and inhibitions. It is also a language of compassion for those who have been wronged, of delight at the beauty of human life with its keen beauty, illogicality and tragedy. It is a language of well-considered judgements and muffled emotions, a language of lyricism controlled by a cold, fresh intellect, a language subjected to intellectual rigor that does not rule out sensitivity to the everyday attractions of existence. It is a language that generally remains faithful to colloquial speech while subtly widening its lexical resources. It is a language of paradox, apparently simple but in fact refined and idiosyncratic. Szymborska wrote sparingly; she is reckoned to have written no more than 250 poems. Perhaps this accounts for the fact that almost every one is a masterpiece. At least since the mid-1950s, Szymborska has held a place among the very finest Polish and European poets.
