Report From a Besieged City: Zbigniew Herbert in six languages, reading by Marcin Gaczkowski
We believe that an injection of the best poetry will help us all to survive the coronavirus siege, especially if it is Herbert's best poetry, because it metaphorically describes the collective experience of the whole world, in which each individual country is now fighting like a besieged city against an invisible enemy. The poems are read by Marcin Gaczkowski.
