"Wisawa Szymborska's poems are not the poetry of big ideas. It is the poetry
of minor events, ordinary objects... but also a bit different. Because under
this ordinary everyday life veneer, there's always an extra layer, a deeper
level, lurking in the work of the Nobel Prize winner from Krakow. This time
it's an experience that's the basis for entering adulthood, because adulthood
can be entered at any age, even when as a one-year-old."
Watch this beguiling animated version of one of Szymborska's beloved poems.
