In \u003ci\u003eAsymmetry\u003c\/i\u003e, his first collection of poems in five years, he revisits the themes that have long concerned him: the enduring imprint of history, the beauty of nature, the place of the exile. Though as sanguine as ever, Zagajewski often turns to elegy in this deeply powerful collection, remembering loved ones he's lost: a hairdresser, the philosopher Krzystzof Michalski, and, most poignantly, his parents. A moving reflection on family, the sublimity of everyday life, death, and happiness, \u003ci\u003eAsymmetry \u003c\/i\u003eis a magnificent distillation of an astounding poetic voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374538736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Adam Zagajewski","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36636676161692,"sku":"9780374538736","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_2e93c99c-da17-4cac-b920-84bb8bad2829.jpg?v=1603842615","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/asymmetry-poems-9780374538736","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
