Encounters with Polish and Ukrainian Literature<\/strong> is a video series for anyone interested in literature and the culture of books and reading. Each month, host David A. Goldfarb<\/strong> will present a new topic in conversation with an expert on that author or book or movement in Polish literature. More about the Encounters with Polish and Ukrainian Literature series<\/a><\/strong> and the timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the third in a series of episodes presenting contemporary Polish poets and their work. If you haven\u2019t seen them yet, watch the first episode in this series with Krystyna D\u0105browska and Tomasz R\u00f3\u017cycki<\/a> <\/strong>from season 4, and the second episode with Julia Fiedorczuk and Tadeusz D\u0105browski<\/a><\/strong> from earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this episode, Kornhauser and Rolando offer their perspectives on the contemporary poetry scene in Poland, after the \u201cage of giants\u201d that included Mi\u0142osz, Herbert, Szymborska, and R\u00f3\u017cewicz. Kornhauser presents a catalogue of major recent trends and the leading poets representing each of those currents. Rolando talks about the relationship between her graphic works and her poetry, and her particular emphasis on the ambiguous and obscure, which leaves much space for the reader or viewer to find themselves in the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
