Meadows of Memory - Lidia Kosk - Bog

Danuta E. Kosk-Kosicka brings to life in English the magical realism in the poetry and prose of Poland's Lidia Kosk, entwining fairytale and real life, innocence of youth and instantaneous maturity, the horrors of war with the hope for peace. We are brought into a world unknown to many: rural Poland in the years immediately before, during, and after the Second World War. The audience learns of a girl's upbringing and the lust for life that she developed even before she confronted genocide and totalitarianism. This project is a labor of love, of stories and knowledge passed on between women, and across generations - in this book, from mother Lidia Kosk, to daughter Danuta E. Kosk-Kosicka, and through her to the world at large.
