Szymborska is great, but....

I really love Szymborska. I just finished Map, which I thought was wonderful. So I ordered Monologue of a Dog. However I found that all of the poems were published in Map, and there were only half as many as I would have expected because each poem appeared in Polish on the left page and English on the right. Nice if you're bilingual. In the description it says it's in English. It makes me wonder about some of her other (more expensive) books on sale here. I don't think I'm going to spring for $43, even if the description says it's in English. Other than that, you can't go wrong with this poet.
