Rooks, hedgehogs and several cats live in the garden in Milanówek, the little town near Warsaw where the poet lives, though much more than the garden is at stake. The poems set the lofty against the lowly: they marvel at rubbish, rotten leaves and a hole in the fence, and such simple wonder leads to awe at the order of the world. Plain, modest and traditionally rhymed, they can be dark and sad, haunted by ghosts and Romantic graves, and yet lively and full of verve.
