Six Polish Poets makes available to the English-language reader the
poetry of the younger generation of poets who whose first
collections (with one exception) have been published in the past
decade. Unlike the poets of the previous generation who, in the
period of new-found freedom after the fall of communism, adopted a
highly individualistic, anarchic, sometimes brutal style, the poets
represented here re-examine and experiment with traditional poetic
forms, themes and cultural references in poems that are refined and
witty, moving and informed, ranging across every aspect of human
existence. This anthology is both thought-provoking and full of
warmth and humanity, and while it cannot claim to be representative
of contemporary Polish poetry as a whole, it nevertheless provides
an insight into today's literary scene in Poland. Parallel text:
