Introduction by Marek Kubisa

Translated by Diana Kuprel and Marek Kubisa

Ryszard Kapuscinski was considered among the most important journalists of the 20th century. Several of his titles -- including Shah of Shahs, The Emeperor, and The Soccer War -- are considered part of the modern canon. What was not known, at least in the English-speaking world, is that Kapuscinski was also a poet. I Wrote Stone brings together the best of the poems from his published work, offering them for the first time in English. Kapuscinski's is a thoughtful, philosophic verse, often aphoristic in tone and structure, and as one would expect, engaged politically, morally and viscerally with the world around him.
