  Tadeusz Rozewicz
Rozewicz is a precursor of the avant-garde in poetry and drama, and an independent artist who, despite the pressure of public opinion, has steered clear of politics.

Tadeusz Rozewicz was awarded Poland’s most prestigious literary prize, NIKE, in 2000 for Matka Odchodzi (Mother Departs), a book of prose and verse combined, dedicated to his mother’s passing.

Tadeusz Rozewicz, Poland's leading poet, fashions gold from unlikely amalgams in his new anthology Recycling.
Tadeusz Rozewicz once wrote that 'the dance of poetry came to an end during the Second World War'.
In 'The Hyperactive Family', Rozewicz extends his mimicry (and mockery) of the print and broadcast media with a radio phone-in: 'excuse me is that radio dribble?' Anxious parents wonder: 'perhaps it's the preservatives/ in the food a child could/ start doing poems/ in his pants'.

Rozewicz, who had his first poems published in 1938, was, during the Second World War, a soldier - like his brother - in Poland's underground army.

 POETRY
From the earliest days of his poetic career, Tadeusz Rozewicz found a unique, pared-down style that consciously avoided metaphor and sought a new, painfully clear voice in which to express the horrors of wartime experiences and the fragility of human existence.
Equal to Beckett in his renovation of form, Rozewicz has provided his own answer to the question, whether poetry is even possible after Auschwitz, by creating a new type of restrained verse that is known as the fourth versification system in literary Polish, in Anxiety (1947) and A Red Glove (1948).
Today, a poet, playwright and novelist, Rozewicz is unanimously listed as belonging to the Pantheon of the greatest Polish poets of the 20th century, together with Czeslaw Milosz, Zbigniew Herbert, and Wislawa Szymborska, and his dramas are constantly presented by Poland’s best theatres, next to plays by Witold Gombrowicz and Slawomir Mrozek.

Entering the politically and dramatically seismic world of poet, playwright and Polish resistance fighter Tadeusz Rozewicz is an experience that everyone should undergo at least once.
Various dark autobiographical elements are sown into the play, as our hero remembers experiences that clearly take their cue from Rozewicz's boyhood of the 1920s, his time as a resistance fighter during World War II, the guilt of the post-war years and the heavy oppression of Stalin's communist rule.
Rozewicz makes good use of Brecht's so-called 'alienation' technique, in which members of the audience are constantly reminded that they are viewing a staged production and are not absorbed in real-life events.

He set himself the task of reinventing literature in the face of a brutality that seemed to have devalued everything, including words themselves, for an audience of survivors: "We learned language from scratch, these people and I." His writing was stark, stripped, honest, distrusting every trace of rethoric.
Rozewicz was quickly recognised as one of Europe's outstanding poets and became a major influence on modern British poetry.
In the early 1960s Tadeusz Rozewicz also established himself as one of the most innovative post-war dramatists with The Card Index (Kartoteka), an Absurdist social satire,which has been called Eastern Europe's Waiting for Godot.

 WHSmith: Welcome: Laboratory of Impure Forms Plays of Tadeusz Rozewicz No. 35: Filipowicz, Malina
Halina Filipowicz applies a theoretical perspective to more than a dozen plays and situates the important postwar dramatist on the borders of modernism and postmodernism, arguing that in his "laboratory of impure forms" he reworks the conventions and dramatic ideas of the past into a theatrical language responsive to our times.
Rozewicz's plays, such as The Card Index and White Marriage, have been staged in the United States and many are available in English.
The first chapter presents an overview of Rozewicz's innovative dramaturgy in terms of both context and method and discovers a dramatist whose only consistency is his refusal to be faithful to any one of the temporary formulae of a playwright's craft.
