DESCRIPTION:Polish poet, novelist and ultramarathon runner Małgorzata Lebda will meet
the public in Belgium on 19 and 20 November 2026. These two events will
provide an opportunity to discover her poetic work and her first novel,
Vorace (in English Voracious), published in French this year by the
publishing house Noir sur Blanc.
Originally from the Beskids, in southern Poland, Małgorzata Lebda is the
author of seven poetry collections and the novel Vorace (2023), published
in French in 2026, in a translation by Lydia Waleryszak. Her poetry
collection Mer de Glace (2021) received the Wisława Szymborska Award in
2022. Its English translation, by Mira Rosenthal, was shortlisted for the
2026 PEN Heaney Prize. Deeply sensory, her writing explores the links
between the body, landscapes and the living world.
