First Edition / First Printing. Fine in No Dust Jacket, As Issued. 112 pages. The poet's first collection to be translated into English. Now considered one of the finest living Polish poets, the book represents his long-overdue introduction to English-language readers. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a softcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Tomasz Rozycki's "The Forgotten Keys" in a felicitous English translation. His debut collection of poems in English. The originals are reproduced en face. Selected by the poet and translator from his five collections: "Vaterland" (1997), "Anima" (1999), "Country Cottage" (2001), "World and Anti-World" (2003), and "The Colonies" (2006). They appear with a brilliant Introductory Essay by Adam Zagajewski, the greatest Polish poet of our time. "Introduces readers to a contemporary Polish poet who expands on the historicism of Czeslaw Milosz and Zbigniew Herbert. Rozycki explores both personal and collective memory in hypnotic and fiercely exacting poems" (Publisher's blurb). "I never sentenced anyone/ without reason, except for public enemies: / deserters, poets, profiteers, traitors" (Tomasz Rozycki). An absolute "must-have" title for Tomasz Rozycki collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed, placed, and dated in black pen on the title page by the author: "Tomasz Rozycki NYC, 28.03.2011". This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed, placed, and dated copy of the First American Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the finest poets of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER THOMASZ ROZYCKI, CZESLAW MILOSZ, WISLAWA SZYMBORSKA, AND ADAM ZAGAJEWSKI TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0939010941.
