Poets' Voices is an international series of books with audio CD's which present collections of poems by significant poets whose work is not available in existing publications. Their poems appear in the original language, together with an English translation on the facing page. With each book, whenever possible, there is a CD recording of the poet reading poems in the collection in the original language and when feasible, in the English translations. Poets' Voices will also feature monographs on key poets about whose lives, works, and influence little is currently available.Czerniawski writes distinctive, challenging, and engaging poems. Since the late seventies he has been a significant presence in Polish poetry. Influenced by his remarkable international and multicultural experiences. Czerniawski debates, enacts or meditates obliquely on puzzles and questions of perception, memory, and representation. A CD featuring readings of a selection of the poems in Polish and in English accompanies this book.
