Novella Weekend: Book Two

Now I have finished my second book, a volume of poetry, and surprised myself by loving it. I almost never read poetry, so I have Peter (aka Dark Puss) to thank for giving me People on a Bridge by Wislawa Szymborska. (Imagine a line through that 'l', which makes it a 'w' sound... and the 'w' is a 'v' sound, so think Viswava. And I can't tell you the joy I'm having saying Szymborska to myself - I don't think I've ever heard such a satisfying surname.)
