Laments

"'Laments' is a sequence of 19 poems about the feelings of the poet in response to misfortune, the loss of his very young daughter, Ursula. The eternal question "Why?" comes from a Christian whose imagination has been formed by humanism and religious controversy, and who is already touched by doubts that could be called modern....The 19 poems of 'Laments', though rhymed, seem a spontaneous expression of grief; they are in fact a carefully arranged sequence written by a man whose extensive reading informs the whole.Kochanowski, Jan is the author of 'Laments' with ISBN 9780374182908 and ISBN 0374182906.
