Boleslaw Lesmian was born a Polish Jew in Warsaw in 1877 and educated at St. Casimir University in Kiev where he was arrested by the Tsar's police for his writings and political activities.
The work of Boleslaw Lesmian is in the opinion of many, one of the greatest achievements in the annals of Polish poetry.
Lesmian turned to Symbolism and the work of the philosopher Bergson, going on to produce a manifesto for the symbiosis of the constructs of poetics with that of the world around him.

 Polish culture: JAROSLAW MAREK RYMKIEWICZ, "LESMIAN. AN ENCYCLOPAEDIA"
The work of Boleslaw Lesmian is, in many people's opinion, the greatest achievement in the Polish verbal arts.
Lesmian preached ideas close to the tenets of the 20th-century Avant-Garde, about the idiosyncrasy of the language of poetry, which should differ from colloquial speech.
His work is founded on a belief in the unity and continuity of art and culture, and of the co-existence of ancient and modern works.
