“[A] new, graphic book rendering of Nobel Prize in Literature-winning poet Wislawa Szymborska’s poem, “Love at First Sight.”. . . Transposing the work that Szymborska has presented in Polish to English readers is accomplished by the acute pen of long-time Szymborska translator Clare Cavanaugh, and poet and translator Stanislaw Baranczak, who teamed to dial-in the poet’s words with a devastating stillness of effect in this book from Seven Stories Press. . . . This book breathes a highly charged life into the work of an incredible poet and the whole of the work is elevated by the combination of these artist-creators. . . . Taken all together, the package that is this book and poem is compelling and its elements will spring open a door for a new slate of readers to find their way into the fabulous work of Wislawa Szymborska.” —Bruce Arlen Wasserman, New York Journal of Books
“This beautiful, indelible poem by Szymborska has trademark attention to detail—a falling leaf, a doorknob—and, too, her ever-present sense of mystery: why do our lives unfold as they do? How much does chance play in our most deeply felt decisions, and even in our dreams? Beatrice Gasca Queirazza’s drawings, at once circumspect and charming, are a graceful companion to the text. A pleasure.” —Cynthia Zarin, author of Two Cities and Orbit: Poems
