In 2018, her second poetry collection, Pod wezwaniem, was also a finalist in the K.I. Gałczyński Orfeusz Poetry Award, as was her third poetry collection, Zimowanie, in 2021. Zimowanie, which translates as "Wintering", consists of very short, often one-line poems.[1]
Honek's short story collection, White Nights, consists of thirteen short stories describing the misfortunes that befall a group of people who grew up together in the same village in the Polish Carpathians. The prose of the book was characterized as "poetic".[2] It was translated to English by Kate Webster.[3] The English translation was longlisted for the International Booker Prize and shortlisted for the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation.[4][5]
