Wouldn't that be better - like Woody Allen suggested - to start with death, pain and sicknesses and then become younger and younger and younger, become a child, then a small baby that everybody loves? Be hugged and kissed by all the family members who would think that we are the cutest thing in...

My play Relativity in Practice - a comedy about time traveling - was chosen as one of 4 plays to be staged (like every year) during the Film Schools Festival in Lodz. I went there very excited about the project - working with a young director and with students from the acting department of the...

I have lately read in the internet some blog entries and poems written by American poets in which I felt a condescending attitude towards Europe and Europeans. Since I was born in Europe and live here now I started to feel addressed - even though I have also an American citizenship, I've...

On some cold days I dream of summer, of a hot sand on some ocean beach, of warm ocean waves... Sometimes it is enough that I meet somebody, who looks at me in a special way and I feel the summer inside... This is a poem that I wrote on such a day, after I've met a man with a lot of sun in his eyes...

My mom is very ill, she has the Alzheimer disease; she was diagnosed almost 7 years ago. This is the reason why I decided to move to Poland, where she needed to be. One never knows how long is someone with that disease going to live. My mom was lucky to have a few happy years after she was...

Yesterday the winter returned to us – everything is white again, it was snowing the entire day… At night I was driving back home from a party, it was around 1.30. I didn't drink a drop of alcohol, so I drove relatively fast since the road was almost empty. Because the road was covered with snow, ...

When I was watching president Barack Obama’s inauguration speech, in the back of my head another film was running – actually I was not watching a film but I was looking like a film editor at some footage that I had collected over the years of my life - at many little fragments of films in which...

I love writing poems but I also love reading them aloud - especially when I have a poetry reading in the evening. It happened many times that after I have read the poems that I have planned to read, people have asked me to read one more poem and one more and I ended up reading the entire book and...

I have moved a lot around the world with my ex-husband. Every time we have moved to another country we had only the work, but we had to make new friends, find our ways around in a new city, in a new language. The friends, which we were leaving behind by every new move, were telling us that we are...

Every year at Christmas I feel sad in the back of my head and in a corner of my soul because I miss my father who died many years ago, being to young to die. Today I received a message from a very talented poet form Ireland about his saying goodbye to his father and I realized that at Christmas -...

Yesterday, in front of my house the world started to look very magical. Even though we don't have snow for the holidays this year in Warsaw, the climate has changed, for a few moments the old fashioned winter arrived and I managed to capture it on photographs before the snow stopped falling and...

(...) Maybe
because the place
where she comes from
remains untouched,
even today,
not accessible to everyone,
