Lyrical defiance

Hilariously absurd
01.01.2007
Poland's foremost satirical writer Slawomir Mrozek is 75. The artist spent over three decades in exile, but returned to live in Krakow after the fall of communism.

Polish female poets
01.01.2007
There are those who say that it is nonsense to use labels like 'women's poetry' to distinguish it from poetry written by a man. But in what is still essentially a sexist society, such labels may just make sense. This selection of poems by Poland's top contemporary women poets, including Nobel prize winner Wislawa Szymborska, was compiled by Piotr Kuhiwczak of the University of Warwick.
