Michał Rusinek Discusses the Late Wisława Szymborska

Now online: A conversation with Dr Michał Rusinek, literary scholar, personal secretary to the late Wisława Szymborska.

"Generally, I am of the impression that when we talk about poets and writers we speak in the present tense. The truth is that we are left with what they have written. As long as their poems are with us and we keep reading them, they are alive."  — Michał Rusinek
