Amoroso: Fifty Polish Love Poems Translated from Polish by Marcel Weyland

Description

'If the first poetry was of love, then this collection of verse digs deep into the psyche of the Polish people in all their passionate, flirty, irrepressible, seductive, nostalgic, romantic and self-delusional diversity. Marcel Weyland, in exploring the wide fields of his native country's language, and conveying it so eloquently in that of his adopted country, reveals both the specifics of a national culture and the universals that tie humanity together across the world. Marcel celebrates his own long love with his late wife and soulmate Philippa and conveys the potent emotions in the poetry of love and his own delight in the exquisite language of poetry. His readers will luxuriate in both.' - Andrew Jakubowicz, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University of Technology Sydney
