In 2018 Poland celebrates the “Year of Zbigniew Herbert”. In the September-October 2018 issue of New Eastern Europe we present a special section on the renowned Polish poet and writer. Herbert, who published nine volumes of poetry throughout his life, became a moral authority during the communist period. Our authors revisit Herbert’s life story and worldviews, and discuss the impact he continues to have on this region while uncovering his ties to the East. The essays and articles are presented here for all our readers.
