Polish Poets

Working in collaboration with Literature Across Frontiers we are very pleased to present this trio of critically acclaimed Polish poets and translators, recently published in English by Arc Publications. Jacek Dehnel has published four books of poems, his most recent Brzytwa okamgnienia (A razor-sharp glance, 2007). He has received several literary prizes, including the prestigious Kościelski Foundation Award. Agnieszka Kuciak’s first collection of poems, Retardacija (Retardation, 2001) is considered the best poetry debut of the 1990s. She is also well regarded for her translation of Dante’s Inferno and Purgatory, and Petrach’s sonnets. Tomasz Różycki has published six books of poetry, including Świat i Antyświat (World and Anti-world, 2003) and Kolonie (Colonies, 2006), and the epic poem Dwanaście Stacj (Twelve Stations, 2004).
