About the book:

In "Wyrobiska", the poems dance unearthly silence, shimmering like rosary beads, with the praying that leads tothe real supra-Christian metaphysics. Femininity appears as the ordering value, founding a better world that can exist – what’s more, it does exist!-beyond the text. You will get lost in, just to find yourself again in what you consist of and what is not necessarily possible to verbalize. Gosia Zagajewska has captured THE moment!
