“Through the fracturing of language, with word and sound-play or othertimes a deceptive simplicity, Kamińska’s poems pull us up short with their visceral honesty. Whether she is writing about the female body, a Jewish cemetery, the pandemic or the invasion of Ukraine, her poems are at once fierce and intimate. She is a unique voice which cannot be ignored, its freshness and immediacy discovered and relayed to us in ingenious ways by her translators.” – Maria Jastrzębska
