"Nothing Twice"
poetry reading took
place on Sunday, February 19, 2006, 6 pm at
the Polish Home in
Seattle. It was a special
evening of the poetry written by women in Polish, English, Russian
and Czech. We were listening to the spoken and sung words performed
in the original languages. The Polish Ballroom Dance Group participated
and added a special Carnival mood to our gathering.
The Salon presented poetry of
Wislawa
Szymborska (the laureate of the Nobel Prize in Literature in
1996) , Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska, Agnieszka Osiecka,
Anna
Akhmatova,
Marina
Tsvetaeva, Vlasta Dvorackova, Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni,
Emily Dickinson and others.

Poetry-
but what is
poetry anyway?
More than one
rickety answer
has tumbled
since that question first was raised.
But I just keep
on not knowing, and I cling to
that like to a
redemptive handrail."
-Wislawa
Szymborska
