Summary/Abstract: The article is a tribute to Charles Simic, the recipient of the International Literary Award named after Zbigniew Herbert. The author emphasizes that Simic, having emigrated to the United States, made a significant contribution to American poetry, blending European and American influences. His work, recognized as some of the best in the U.S., is characterized by duality, combining tragedy and humor. Simic explores existential questions and connects various aspects of reality with the world of fantasy, and his poetry reflects the human condition. The author expresses joy in having such a significant poet within Polish culture, highlighting his ties to Herbert's legacy.
