More about the Encounters with Polish Literature series and the timeline.\\nStanis\u0142aw Bara\u0144czak (1946-2014) was a virtuosic poet and translator, legendary for his brilliance, speed, and productivity. He was a founding member of KOR, the Committee in Defense of Labor, which preceded the Solidarity movement as a union of workers and intellectuals, and he co-founded the clandestine journal, Zapis. published in London by Index on Censorship and distributed underground in Poland.As a professor at Harvard, he was known for attracting students who had come to study Russian through his wit and intellectual generosity and they would feel pulled toward Polish literature. Some of those students who have been guests on this program, such as Clare Cavanagh, Beth Holmgren, and Benjamin Paloff, came to focus the greater part of their work on Polish literature and culture\\nBara\u0144czak was part of the New Wave in Polish poetry or Nowa Fala, a generation of poets mostly born around the end of the Second World War who became active in the political upheavals in Poland in 1968 and were prominent voices in the 1970s, through the Solidarity era, and beyond, but Bara\u0144czak did not like to be considered mainly as a political poet. In an environment of political censorship, it was perhaps impossible to avoid taking political positions, but his focus is always on poetic form and language. The political lies in the contrast between the boilerplate of official discourse and the language of independent thought. For more on the New Wave and Bara\u0144czak\u2019s generation, please listen to \u201cEncounters,\u201d Season 3, Episode 4 [https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/2023\/04\/21\/nowa-fala-the-new-wave-in-polish-poetry-with-katarzyna-zechenter\/].\\nIn this episode we discuss a few of his poems, in which he struggles with particularly challenging forms such as the sestina and villanelle, and we focus on Bara\u0144czak\u2019s interaction with Cavanagh as a translator, considering how to prioritize the meanings of words and the form of the poem, and problems they experienced in translating together. We also look at what Bara\u0144czak was like as a professor at Harvard, and at Cavanagh\u2019s experience as Bara\u0144czak\u2019s first American graduate student.\\nWorks by Stanis\u0142aw Bara\u0144czak in English Translation:\\nStanis\u0142aw Bara\u0144czak.
