Such Times is the first collection in English of the poems of the talented young Polish Poet, Ewa Lipska. The fifty-six poems in this volume have been selected from the 139 that appear in Dom Spokojnej Młodości: Wierze Wybrane (The Home for Peaceful Youth: Selected Poems) published in Cracow, in 1979. Even in English translation the poems convey the vivid impression of an alert mind, torn emotions, quirky temperament, highly individual talent. As well, they dramatize much of the poet’s time and place.

She lives in Vienna and KrakóWest The Adam Mickiewicz Institute comments: "While her verse may have some connections with politics, it always documents concrete personal experiences without reaching for grand generalizations. As it unmasks the language of propaganda, her poetry also indicates the weaknesses of language in general as an instrument of human perception and communication." (English) Poet? Criminal? Madman?
