	Samizdat Magazine
		The triumph of national romanticism is responsible for shaping the concept of the Polish poet as national destiny’s supreme interpreter (Mickiewicz), its inspired visionary (Slowacki), or its shrewd dialectician (Krasinski).
		Initially a young lyrical poet, she allowed herself to be swept away by the high tide of Stalinist social realism, a mode of universalist thinking that sustains the poet’s far imaginative reach.
		To restate the point: romanticism has entangled Polish lyricism in a false dilemma from which Polish poetry has so far not managed to recover: it is unable to assert its superiority over history, or, alternatively, to assert and maintain a separateness from history and from immediate communal concerns.

	Poets of Poland's 'Forgotten Wars'
		I arbitrarily picked Polish because I was forced to pick something and there was a lot of focus on the Polish people at the time, for example, the Pope had just been elected.
		I feel that Polish poets use the horrific experience of modern Poland and their experiences with WWII in their poetry.
		Polish poets have integrated history into their work, as well as humor and charm.

		Her Nobel Prize is her personal triumph but at the same time it confirms the place of the "Polish school of poetry." Perhaps it is not necessary to recall that the language of that poetry is the language of a country where the crime of genocide was perpetrated on a mass scale.
		Polish poets have not become caught up in the postmodern fads that contemporary writers everywhere have been swept along by; they have struggled to maintain the humanist purposes of literature--to make the poetic imagination, as Herbert says, "an instrument of compassion." Polish poetry has often been called a poetry of witness.
		Polish Nobel laureates ought to be Szymborska and Herbert, and R´Àewicz.

	Polish Madonnas
		It is important to note that from the earliest beginnings of Polish literature to the present day, Polish poetry often is inspired by the Holy Mother.
		It illustrates the Polish belief that human freedom and prosperity are connected to Mary’s intercession with her Son.
		Like the Polish poetry that inspired them, her paintings are a prayer that invites all who see them to enter a world permeated by the love of God and Mary, and to rejoice in the closeness of the Bogurodicza and her Son.

	The Georgia Review
		Arranging a meeting with the Polish poet, then eighty-nine years old, was as carefully planned as a satellite launch; the poet’s health had been precarious, and it took months of negotiation to schedule a suitable time for an interview.
		He found in the Polish poets a way of dealing with the historical situation in an oblique way—a way to integrate the historical situation into a body of poetry.
		As a poet, she was underestimated—because she was a feminist, because she wrote about the fate of woman in her poems.

	Poets Q&A
		There are poets who think in their poems in the whole vocabulary of English and others who rely pretty much on tactile images.
		When poets began to do without rhyme, the function of the stanza was no longer self-evident and it got expressed by the convention of white space.
		Poets tend to bond into smallish packs based on their aesthetic commitments and it is often their character, especially the character of avant-gardes and new-poetry movements, to form clubs of those who are against what looks like the main club--which is not necessarily such a bad form for energy to take.

	Polish Writing: Interview with Benjamin Paloff
		Both Smith and Foer are translated into Polish, but I do not believe that they had been by the time Masłowska wrote her novel.
		She is certainly engaged with contemporary literature, perhaps especially with writers who came to public attention in the 1990s; in Poland today, these poets and novelists frequently write for magazines and newspapers and, in this way, remain within the public eye, as Masłowska has herself.
		While it reflects certain aspects of contemporary Polish youth culture, the novel is more fantasia than social drama, and what it has to say about cultural conflict will remain interesting and relevant for a long time.

	Words Without Borders -> Monologue of a Dog: New Poems by Wisława Szymborska
		These poets sometimes wrote from experiences and sometimes with a gravity that were impressive to their colleagues in western countries and rightly so.
		But other Polish poets who were less legible in terms of this basic pattern rarely found readers in the West before 1989, and younger ones have scarcely done so since.
		Collins, who is America’s best-selling poet at the moment, is obviously good for selling far more copies of this book than Szymborska, with her hard-to-pronounce last name, could ever hope to on her own.

	Poets&Writers, Inc.
		Born in Lvov in 1945, Adam Zagajewski is one of the most well-known and highly regarded contemporary Polish poets.
		Poets and Writers Magazine asked Zagajewski about the essays in his forthcoming book and what he hopes to achieve by defending ardor.
		It’s not the case of several Polish poets—maybe because there’s a strong tradition in Polish poetry of attention centered on meaning, of course, without neglecting formal aspects of poetry.

	Adam Mickiewicz Museum of Literature
		At first, the museum was intended to be the museum of famous Polish poet Adam Mickiewitcz.

		Polish ł and j are usually pronounced as non-syllabic u and i respectively rather than approximants.

		Polish poets born in the 1960s and later remain little-known to English-speaking readers.
		I met many of them, as well as several of the poets, during my time as a Fulbright fellow in Kraków, where I was researching contemporary Polish poetry to build an understanding beyond those poets who I already knew and loved in English translation.
		To select twenty-four of these poets as somehow representative of new Polish poetry was like trying to put together a puzzle while the puzzle itself was still being made.

	Antologia: SR, April 2005
		Czaykowski prefers the notion that Polish postwar poetry is essentially one, and consequently the attempts at dividing it into “poetry written in Poland” and “poetry written in exile” echo the Communist practice.
		Their authors were poets who were not necessarily émigrés sensu stricto, but lived outside the country for a substantial amount of time.
		One of these transformations, of which Czaykowski himself was a witness and participant, was the refusal to give in to nostalgia, the poets’ redefinition of their attitude toward the country of origin, and reconsideration of their allegiance due to their cross-border and cross-language experience.

	Conrad and the Polish Poets
		Greeted in verse on the threshold of life by his father Apollo Korzeniowski's "Christening Song," an effort permeated by the discreet tones of the traditional Polish Christmas koledy (carols), Joseph Conrad was eulogized at death by other Polish poets and has since often attracted the attention of the poet.
		The first is that the presence of Conrad in the work of the Polish poets is not the result of accident, fashion, or "inspiration on demand." Conversely, it reaches deep into the subsoil of creativity and reaches widely.
		The editorial staff of Conrad Concepts invite contacts by those interested in translating some of the poems from the Polish or having original poetry to be included in the volume to be published by Conrad Books, a branch of the JCF.

	PolishRoots - History
		I always thought that revival of Polish genealogy in Belarus should be an integral part of the larger cause of restoring recognition of the Polish presence in the region.
		I have also studied the life of the Polish freedom fighter Migurski, who fought against the Russian Empire in 1830-1831, and of Z. Minejko who fought in the Uprising of 1861, and who, by the way, was also a grandfather of the well-known Greek politician and one-time prime minister A. Papandrious.
		Therefore, the genealogical research of Polish ancestors, although it may seem to be a private matter, cannot be separated from the overall movement of restoring Polish roots in Belarus.

		Described by period writers and fellow composers, Zygmunt Stojowski and Jaros³aw Zieliñski, as the most influential Polish composer of the fin-de-siècle, ¯eleñski was the teacher of a generation of composers and author of numerous operas.
		His operas often include stylization of Polish folklore and national dance rhythms, especially mazurkas and krakoviaks.
		The lyricism of his melodies, coupled with conservative harmonic language, destined him to become one of the important composers of songs popular in Polish salons of the period.
