Poetic talent doesn't operate in a vacuum. There is a spirit of Polish poetry.

They say the first love's most important. That's very romantic, but not my experience.

We're extremely fortunate not to know precisely the kind of world we live in. One would have to live a long, long time, unquestionably longer than the world itself.

Generally speaking, life is so rich and full of variety; you have to remember all the time that there is a comical side to everything.

Somewhere out there the world must have an end.

I prefer the absurdity of writing poems to the absurdity of not writing poems.

Sometimes I write quickly, sometimes I spend several weeks on a single poem. I would really love for readers not to be able to guess which of the poems took so much work!
