Poetry. Bilingual. Translated from the Polish by Frank L. Vigoda. One of the principal authors of the "brulion" generation, which has been influenced largely by American poets such as Frank O'Hara, Allen Ginsberg, and John Ashbery, MLB (Milosz Biedrzycki) has published six volumes of poetry and received numerous prestigious literary prizes. The work included here--in his first collection in English--is from MLB's 2006 volume in Poland, 69, which encompasses his poetic output from the fall of Communism to the present, allowing the reader to trace the process of personal and artistic development during the rapidly changing post-Communist years.
