It will return, by Julia Hartwig, is a Polish poetry collection from Poland, translated by Bogdana Carpenter, John, published by Northwestern University Press in 2010. It is a Polish collection by Julia Hartwig where recurrence, memory, and visitation shape the lyric field. The title holds a quiet suspense: what returns may be beloved, painful, historical, or simply the old weather of the self. 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.
