Polish Poetry after Tadeusz Różewicz

In the latest issue of the literary journal Jacket2, Professor Marit MacArthur introduces a series of new translations of Polish poetry inspired by Tadeusz Różewicz, a Polish poet who lived from 1921-2014 and whose deadpan, pragmatist perspective has influenced poets across Europe as well as here in America.

MacArthur's introduction is titled "(Polish) Poetry after Różewicz," which you can read here.
