Encounters with Polish 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 Literature series<\/a><\/strong> and the timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

June 30, 2022 marks the centennial of the birth of Miron Bia\u0142oszewski (1922-83), one of the most innovative poets in twentieth-century Polish literature. Like other poets of the postwar era, he was inspired by the formal experimentalism of the interwar avantgarde, but drawn toward the language of everyday life, rejecting prewar aestheticism, and adopting colloquial Warsaw diction in a way that was unique to his writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the war, he worked as a journalist in various positions, but was unwilling to conform to the tenets of socialist realism, and he was an openly gay man in a closeted era. He faced police interrogations and slurs painted on the door of his apartment, and had great difficulty finding work, living at times in extreme poverty, writing poetry with no immediate prospects for publication until the Thaw of 1956, when his works were first published. In 1970 he published A Memoir of the Warsaw Uprising<\/em>, recounting in fragmented, anti-heroic language, the civilian experience under German bombardment, challenging the Romantic narrative of the Uprising as it was generally conceived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this episode we look at one of his most popular earlier poems from his collection The Revolution of Things<\/em>, \u201c\u2019Oh! Oh! Should they Take Away My Stove\u2026\u2019 My Inexhaustible Ode to Joy.\u201d We examine some of the narrative innovations in A Memoir of the Warsaw Uprising<\/em>. And we consider the queer themes and double-voice in a few passages from his later short prose works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each month, host David A. Goldfarb 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 Literature series and the timeline.\nJune 30, 2022 marks the centennial of the birth of Miron Bia\u0142oszewski (1922-83), one of the most innovative poets in twentieth-century Polish literature. Like other poets of the postwar era, he was inspired by the formal experimentalism of the interwar avantgarde, but drawn toward the language of everyday life, rejecting prewar aestheticism, and adopting colloquial Warsaw diction in a way that was unique to his writing.\nAfter the war, he worked as a journalist in various positions, but was unwilling to conform to the tenets of socialist realism, and he was an openly gay man in a closeted era. He faced police interrogations and slurs painted on the door of his apartment, and had great difficulty finding work, living at times in extreme poverty, writing poetry with no immediate prospects for publication until the Thaw of 1956, when his works were first published. In 1970 he published A Memoir of the Warsaw Uprising, recounting in fragmented, anti-heroic language, the civilian experience under German bombardment, challenging the Romantic narrative of the Uprising as it was generally conceived.\nIn this episode we look at one of his most popular earlier poems from his collection The Revolution of Things, \u201c\u2019Oh! Oh! Should they Take Away My Stove\u2026\u2019 My Inexhaustible Ode to Joy.\u201d We examine some of the narrative innovations in A Memoir of the Warsaw Uprising. And we consider the queer themes and double-voice in a few passages from his later short prose works.\nSelected works by Miron Bia\u0142oszewski in English translation: \nItems that do not have a link may be found in libraries, through interlibrary loan, and in the case of journals often through electronic databases available through research libraries like Project Muse, ProQuest, EBSCOHost.
