In 1983 the Literary Institute in Paris published another book of poetry by Herbert entitled "Raport z oblężonego Miasta i inne wiersze" ("Report from a Besieged City and Other Poems"). In Poland it was reprinted by the underground publishing houses. The time and the circumstances favored the literal understanding of the poem's title. Despite the fact that the title provoked such understanding, it led to the simplification in interpreting the poem. Another book of poems "Elegia na odejście" ("Elegy for the Departure") (1990) was published also in Paris. In 1992, back in Poland, Herbert published "Rovigo" (Wrocław). Finally, the last work of the poet "Epilog burzy" ("Epilogue to a Storm") came out shortly before his death.
