INDICO SUPER! vou deixar aqui minhas partes favoritas do livro:

"As três palavras mais estranhas:

Quando pronuncio a palavra Futuro,
a primeira sílaba já se perde no passado.

Quando pronuncio a palavra Silêncio,
suprimo-o

Quando pronuncio a palavra Nada,
crio algo que não cabe em nenhum ser"

"Prefiro-me gostando das pessoas do que amando a humanidade"

"Me desculpe o antigo amor por sentir o novo como [primeiro"

"Podes me reconhecer, nunca me conhecer.
Com toda mina superfície me volto para ti
Mas com todo meu interior permaneço de costas"

I thoroughly enjoyed the beginning and end of this collection, but the middle years fell flat for me.

Szymborska is a fantastic poet--very accessible. She tends to see peoples place in the universe as kind of small and self-important. Her poems are about 1 page long and very accessible. I read the book over the course of 6 months or so by reading a poem a day (more or less). It was great. I think if she had a philosophy it would be, "it is what it is." The last poem I read this morning was about plants -- how beautiful and ephemeral they are, and how they don't give a darn about her. Szymborska won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1996.
