These are poems about life, forgiveness, communication, love, death, and time: in the slit of a mailbox, he sees \"Not the light but \/ the galloping Now.\" The poems have an urban edge and bite, and Świetlicki has recorded many of them as lyrics with his rock band. The collection, his first to be translated into English, culls work from all twelve of his published volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eElżbieta Wójcik-Leese is a writer, translator and scholar who moves between English, Polish and Danish.
