"I Lived So Lonely" is another classic collection of poems by the Nobel Prize-winning poet Szymborska after "Everything is Silent as a Mystery". In this collection of poems, the poet uses a witty and charming voice and tone to express his nostalgia and praise for his family, his love for all kinds of life in the world, his fascination with the passing time and country, and his poetic description of daily life and all things, which vaguely reflects the rich inner world of the poet and her lonely life. The book contains more than 80 poems such as "Farewell to Landscape", "Versions of Events", "Gifts from Nothing", "I Dedicated to Creating a World", "In the River of Heraclitus" and "Children of Time". It also re-translates more than 10 popular works such as "Love at First Sight", "Various Possibilities" and "Under a Little Star" from "All Things Are Silent as a Mystery". You can get a glimpse of the classic charm in different translations.
