Wisława Szymborska
Polish poet known for accessible yet profound verse exploring everyday miracles and philosophical questions. Szymborska's poems combine humor, irony, and deep reflection on human existence.

Szymborska received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1996 for poetry that with ironic precision allows the historical and biological context to come to light in fragments of human reality.
