Zbigniew Herbert was a Polish poet who lived in the twentieth century and was known for his powerful sense of humanity in the darkest of times. This new selection brings together poems from across his writing life, from his first volume Chord of Light in 1956 to works published posthumously in 2024. Herbert's poetry is direct, lucid, and often ironic, with a deep understanding of the history of his own time and the Classical world. He desires to "touch the essence" and get to the heart of life, offering a voice of lucid, truly humane observation and integrity. Ruth Padel describes Herbert as ethical, often ironic, full of self-doubt, quick, original, and vivid.
