Viscera is an anthology translated by Mark P. Tardi from Polish, gathering Polish-language poetry from Poland through an anthology of Polish prose poetry and bodily intelligence, where viscera suggests interior life without politeness. Its value comes from chorus rather than singular authorship, so I would not treat it as one poet’s private weather. The better entrance is through viscera, body, anthology, and the organ-deep strangeness of thought made physical. Anthologies can become maps, but the best ones also leave room for wandering, disagreement, and surprise. Viscera belongs in the translated poetry library because it offers Polish poetry as plural, visceral, experimental, and not merely historical. It gives a reader several doors into a tradition before asking them to choose only one.

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.
