I Wrote Stone, by Ryszard Kapuściński, is a Polish poetry collection from Poland, translated by Diana Kuprel, published by Biblioasis in 2008. It is a Polish collection by Ryszard Kapuściński where travel, witness, and compression meet in lyric form. The title gives language a hard surface, as though the poem were trying to leave marks durable enough for history. I would read it first for the pressure of the translated line rather than as a puzzle waiting for its correct answer. The best version of a description for a book like this should give the reader a door, not a lecture: a little context, then permission to meet the poem through image, cadence, and affect. For this library, the book matters as more than a representative entry from Poland. It shows how poetry in translation can carry local weather, private intensity, and literary history into English without becoming merely informational.

If you’d like to see international poetry continue and gain traction, consider requesting this work from your local library, or purchasing it from places like Open Books (a poetry only bookstore), Asterism Books (an independent press distributor), or bookshop.org to connect you with your local bookstores.
