Written in a pared-down, direct language, and filled with allusions to everything from philosophy to TV talk shows, the poetry of Tadeusz RÃ³zewicz encompasses the complexity of human experience in the early 21st century. RÃ³zewicz's unique voice, formed during his experiences as a member of the Polish resistance in World War II, and honed by decades living under communist rule, holds a merciless mirror up to the crimes and excesses of the poet's lifetime. In his eighties now, RÃ³zewicz continues to be a prolific writer and an acerbic commentator on his life and times. This collection combines his latest three volumes:Â professor's knife,Â gray zone, andÂ exit. These are extraordinary poems from an acknowledged European master.
