5

Szymon Bira

Szymon Bira's "5" is a selection of thirty-six poems. The poems were written by the author between 2020 and 2024.

"The title of the book is a numerical reference to the author's two previous poetry books, namely "3.5" (Stowarzyszenie Żywych Poetów, 2015) and "1.1" (Convivo, 2021).

The title "5" means "five", but it can also mean "a five" or even "a fiver", although I would like to emphasize that this is a collection deserving an A-plus, especially since a dog and a horse appear in it." Adam Wiedemann
