Wislawa Szymborska, Nobel-Winning Polish Poet, Dies at 88
Wislawa Szymborska, a gentle and reclusive Polish poet who won the 1996 Nobel Prize in Literature, died on Wednesday in Krakow, Poland. She was 88.
The cause was lung cancer, said David A. Goldfarb, the curator of literature and humanities at the Polish Cultural Institute in New York, a diplomatic mission of the Polish Embassy.
Ms. Szymborska had a relatively small body of work when she received the Nobel, the fifth Polish or Polish-born writer to have done so since the prize was created in 1901. The Nobel announcement surprised Ms. Szymborska, who had lived an intensely private life. “She was kind of paralyzed by it,” said Clare Cavanagh, who, with Stanislaw Baranczak, translated much of Ms. Szymborska’s work into English.
“Her friends called it the ‘Nobel tragedy,’ ” Dr. Cavanagh, a professor of literature at Northwestern University, said in an interview on Wednesday. “It was a few years before she wrote another poem.”
Ms. Szymborska lived most of her life in modest conditions in the old university city of Krakow, working for the magazine Zycie Literackie (Literary Life). She published a thin volume of her verse every few years.
She was popular in Poland, which tends to make romantic heroes of poets, but she was little known abroad. Her poems were clear in topic and language, but her playfulness and tendency to invent words made her work hard to translate.
Much of her verse was contemplative, but she also addressed death, torture, war and, strikingly, Hitler, whose attack on Poland in 1939 started World War II in Europe. She depicted him as an innocent — “this little fellow in his itty-bitty robe” — being photographed on his first birthday.
She insisted that her poetry was personal rather than political. “Of course, life crosses politics,” she said in an interview with The New York Times after winning the Nobel in 1996. “But my poems are strictly not political. They are more about people and life.”

Nobel Ödüllü Şair Wislawa Szymborska, 88 Yaşında Vefat Etti
1996 Nobel Edebiyat Ödülünü kazanan hassas ve münzevi Polonyalı şair, Wislawa Szymborska, Çarşamba günü Krakow, Polonya'da vefat etti. Şair, 88 yaşındaydı.
Polonya Elçiliği'nin diplomatik bir misyonu olan, New York'taki Polonya Kültür Enstitüsü'nde edebiyat ve beşeri bilimler küratörü olarak görev yapan David A. Goldfarb, "Ölüm nedeni akciğer kanseriydi", dedi.
Nobel ödülünün 1901'de ihdas edilmesinden bu yana, ödülü alan beşinci Polonyalı ya da Polonya doğumlu yazar olan Bayan Szymborska'nın, Nobel’i kazandığında görece küçük bir eserler bütünü vardı. Nobel duyurusu, son derece mahrem bir hayat yaşamış olan Bayan Szymborska'yı şaşırtmıştı. Stanislaw Baranczak ile birlikte, Bayan Szymborska'nın eserlerinin çoğunu İngilizceye çevirmiş bulunan Clare Cavanagh, "Sanki ödülün ilanıyla çarpılmış gibiydi", dedi.
Northwestern Üniversitesi'nde edebiyat profesörü olan Dr. Cavanagh, Çarşamba günkü bir mülakatta, "Arkadaşları bunu 'Nobel trajedisi' olarak adlandırdılar" dedi ve ekledi; "Yeni bir şiir yazması birkaç yılını aldı."
Bayan Szymborska, yaşamının büyük bir bölümünü eski bir üniversite şehri olan Krakow'da, mütevazı koşullarda, Zycie Literackie (Edebiyat Yaşamı) adlı dergi için çalışarak geçirdi. Her birkaç yılda bir şiirlerinden ince birer kitap yayınladı.
Şairlerden romantik kahramanlar yaratma eğiliminde olan Polonya'da popülerdi, ancak yurtdışında pek az bilinirdi. Şiirleri konu ve dil bakımından açıktı, ama latifeciliği ve yeni kelimeler icat etme eğilimi eserlerini zor çevrilir kıldı.
Mısralarının çoğu tefekküre dayalıydı, ancak şiirlerinde aynı zamanda ölüme, işkenceye, savaşa ve, çarpıcı biçimde, Polonya'ya 1939 yılında yaptığı saldırı İkinci Dünya Savaşı'nı başlatan Hitler'e de değindi. Onu, ilk yaş gününde fotoğraflanan bir masum – "mini minnacık giysisi içinde bu küçük adam" – olarak tasvir etti.
Şiirinin siyasal olmaktan ziyade kişisel olduğunda ısrar etti. 1996'da Nobel'i kazandıktan sonra The New York Times'a verdiği mülakatta "Elbette, yaşam siyasetle kesişir." dedi; "Ancak benim şiirlerim kesinlikle siyasi değildir. Onlar daha çok insanlar ve yaşamla ilgilidir."
