<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>I love to swim in the sea, which keeps</i><br><i>talking to itself</i><br><i>in the monotone of a vagabond</i><br><i>who no longer recalls </i><br><i>exactly how long he's been on the road. </i><br><i>Swimming is like prayer: </i><br><i>palms join and part, </i><br><i>join and part, </i><br><i>almost without end.</i><br>--from "On Swimming"</p><p><i>Without End</i> draws from each of Adam Zagajewski's English-language collections, both in and out of print--<i>Tremor, Canvas, </i>and <i>Mysticism for Beginners--</i>and features new work that is among his most refreshing and rewarding. These poems, lucidly translated, share the vocation that allows us, in Zagajewski's words, "to experience astonishment and to stop still in that astonishment for a long moment or two."</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"[Zagajewski's poems] transport us into a realm that is majestic, boundless and unknown." --<i>Edward Hirsch, The Washington Post Book World</i></p><p>"Poems [that] celebrate those rare moments when we catch a glimpse of a world from which all labels have been unpeeled." --<i>Charles Simic, The New York Review of Books</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Adam Zagajewski </b>was born in Lvov, Poland, in 1945. He lives in Kraków and spends part of the year in Houston, where he teaches at the University of Houston.</p>
