Ryszard Kapuscinski is considered among the most important journalists of the 20th century.
What was not known in the English-speaking world, however, was that Ryszard Kapuscinski was also a poet. I Wrote Stone brings together a selection of poems from his two previously published
collections, offering them to English readers for the first time. Kapuscinski's is a thoughtful, philosophical verse, often aphoristic in tone and structure, and as one would expect, engaged
politically, morally and viscerally with the world around him.
