Notes

Description
Starting with his first collection, Anxiety, in 1947, published in the wake of the Holocaust, R=zewicz's poetry is haunted by the failure of our civilization to save humanity. His poetry after Auschwitz is an anti-poetry: simple, minimalist, powerful, and raw. The denial of history, our ruthless exploitation of nature, excessive consumerism, and the commodification of everythingùincluding dissentùare the targets of his more recent kaleidoscopic poems. Now in his late eighties, R=zewicz remains vital and nourishing.
Description
In this new collection, spanning his career from 1947 to the present, Joanna Trzeciak brilliantly captures R=zewicz's brutal simplicity, his stark diction and sudden turns. --Book Jacket.
