The poems in this book cite instants of contemplation, crucial if unremarkable moments in the lives of the poet's heroes - Schubert, Simone Weil, Mozart and Bruckner - and in his own experience. The minutiae of daily life are pitted against the more sinister moments of politics and history. Adam Zagajewski is the author of "Tremor".

The Los Angeles Times chose this as one of the best books of poetry of 1998.

Adam Zagajewski
