FROM THE PUBLISHER - Ryszard Kapuscinski is considered among the most important journalists of the 20th century. Several of his titles, including THE SOCCER WAR, SHAH OF SHAHS, IMPERIUM and THE SHADOW OF THE SUN are considered part of the modern canon, His `reportages' bore the marks of the highest literary craftsmanship, characterized by sophisticated narrative techniques, metaphor and unusual imagery. What was not known in the English-speaking world, however, was that Ryszard Kapuscinski was also a poet. I WROTE STONE brings together a selection of poems from his two previously published collections, offering to English readers for the first time. Kapuscinski's is a thoughtful, philosophical verse, often aphoristic in tone and structure, and as one would expect, engaged politically, morally and viscerally with the world around him. inventory #36651 ISBN: 9781897231371 .
