The Sound of Modern Polish Poetry

Release Date: 2021-12-07
An illuminating new study of modern Polish verse in performance, offering a major reassessment of the roles of poets and poetry in twentieth-century Polish culture. WhatÕs in a voice? Why record oneself reading a poem that also exists on paper? In recent decades, scholars have sought to answer these questions, giving due credit to the art of poetry performance in the anglophone world. Now Aleksandra Kremer trains a sharp ear on modern Polish poetry, assessing the rising importance of authorial sound recordings during the tumultuous twentieth century in Eastern Europe. Kremer traces the adoption by key Polish poets of performance practices intimately tied to new media. In Polish hands, tape recording became something different from what it had been in the West, shaped by its distinctive origins behind the Iron Curtain. The Sound of Modern Polish Poetry reconstructs the historical conditions, audio technologies, and personal motivations that informed poetic performances by such luminaries as Czes_aw Mi_osz, Wis_awa Szymborska, Aleksander Wat, Zbigniew Herbert, Miron Bia_oszewski, Anna Swir, and Tadeusz R_ewicz. Through performances both public and private, prepared and improvised, professional and amateur, these poets tested the possibilities of the physical voice and introduced new poetic practices, reading styles, and genres to the Polish literary scene. Recording became, for these artists, a means of announcing their ambiguous place between worlds. KremerÕs is a work of criticism as well as recovery, deploying speech-analysis software to shed light on forgotten audio experimentsÑfrom poetic Òsound postcards,Ó to unusual home performances, to the final testaments of writer-performers. Collectively, their voices reveal new aesthetics of poetry reading and novel concepts of the poetic self.
Obcy ludzie

Jerzy Broszkiewicz znany jest przede wszystkim jako autor książek dla młodzieży. Jednak w jego dorobku są także powieści dla dorosłego czytelnika. I to bardzo dobre powieści. „Obcy ludzie” jest właśnie jedną z nich. Książka dzieli się na trzy części. Pierwsza ukazuje dzieciństwo bohatera powieści, Henryka, druga — pierwsze wejście w dorosłość, gimnazjum, trzecia — rzeczywiste dorastanie, także polityczne. W sumie kilkanaście lat, obejmujących prawie całe międzywojenne dwudziestolecie aż po ostatnią przedokupacyjną wiosnę. Pierwsze młodzieńcze bunty wobec zła świata, wybór ideologii (od kontaktów z grupą faszyzującą po świadomą przyjaźń z młodzieżą komunistyczną), próby ustalenia wzajemnych relacji „świat — a ja”, „ludzie — a ja”, ukazane są tu w ostrym przeciwstawieniu ze światem „obcych”, strasznych mieszczan, przywykłych do kompromisu i egoistycznej wygody.

Prophetic Witness and the Reimagining of the World
This book explores the prophetic characteristics of literature, particularly poetry, that seek to reimagine the world in which it is written. Using theological and philosophical insights it charts the relentless impulse of literature to propose alternative visions, practicable or utopian, and point toward possibilities of renewal and change. Drawing from each of the three main Abrahamic religions, as well as Greek and Latin classics, an international group of scholars utilise a diverse range of analytical and interpretive methods to draw out the prophetic voice in poetry. Looking at the writings of figures like T. S. Elliot, Blake, Wittgenstein and Isaiah, the theme of the prophetic is shown to be of timely importance given the current state of geo-political challenges and uncertainties and offers a much-needed critical discussion of these broad cultural questions. This collection of essays offers readers an insight into the constructive power of literature. As such, it will be of great interest to scholars working in Religion and the Arts, Religious Studies, Theology and Aesthetics.
