More about the book

The collection features "talk poems" by Piotr Sommer, characterized by their absence of traditional poetic rhythm while capturing the essence of everyday speech. The speaker recounts ordinary events with a deadpan delivery, yet the language's irony and nuanced meanings suggest that the true message lies in the performance rather than the content. Translated into English with contributions from esteemed poets and translators, this volume showcases Sommer's unique approach to poetry, blending the mundane with deeper reflections on communication.
