      Hello and thanks for listening and for your question. I probably was introduced to Symborska’s poetry in one of the poetry workshops I have taken over the years. These three poems “Going Home” and the two before on Sher Poetry all came from _View with a Grain of Sand: Selected Poems_. Translated by Stanislaw Baranczak and Clare Cavanagh published 1995. It seems there are a few editions. I imagine you can find a used copy if it is not in print. In this selection you will find many poems covering her wide range of subjects and so many are very clever like the three poems I shared at Sher Poetry.
