The poetry of CYPRIAN NORWID (1821-83) by JERZY PETERKIEWICZ who also translated the poems in collaboration with BURNS SINGER and CHRISTINE BROOKE-ROSE
Cyprian Norwid died 100 years ago at a home for destitute
Polish exiles in Paris. Ignored, misunderstood or ridiculed during his lifetime, he was rediscovered at the beginning of this century and is now recognised as one of the most original minds in Polish literature.
