Summary/Abstract: “People have asked me, am I an American poet or a Polish poet writing in English? Maybe being a poet is supranational. It’s like being in a journey; in fact, my poetic ‘I’ often sits in a train,” states Joanna Kurowska in the fall 2011 issue of Apple Valley Review. There are, of course, different ways of traveling. Regular commuters tend to be oblivious of the environment, usually absorbed by their own thoughts, the music in their headphones, or a book. Visitors from out of town look around, smile, and notice little things that normally wouldn’t attract their attention. Kurowska’s poetic ‘I’ seems to be traveling in both ways.”
