About the author

Tadeusz Różewicz

200 books93 followers
Tadeusz Różewicz - poet, playwright, and novelist, was one of Poland's most versatile and pre-eminent modern writers.

Remarkable for his simultaneous mastery of poetry, prose, and drama, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature. Tadeusz Różewicz has been translated into over forty languages. The most recent English-language volumes, recycling (2001), New Poems (2007) and Sobbing Superpower (2011), were finalists for the 2003 Popescu Prize (UK), the 2008 National Book Critics Award (USA) and the 2012 Griffin Prize (Canada) respectively. In 2007 he was awarded the European Prize for Literature.

Mother Departs (Matka odchodzi, 1999), exploring the life of his mother Stefania, is perhaps his most personal work. It won the Nike Prize in 2000, Poland’s most prestigious literary award. He lived in the city of Wrocław, Poland.

Różewicz studied art history at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, but he has been associated with Silesia since the late 1940s and lived in Wrocław for thirty years. His work has been translated into many languages including English (his work is championed in the UK by the poet and critic, Tom Paulin, and the Nobel Laureate, Seamus Heaney), French, German, Serbian, Serbo-Croatian, Swedish, Danish and Finnish and he has received Polish state prizes and foreign awards. He is well-known in many countries as an excellent poet of the highest moral authority. Różewicz is a precursor of the avant-garde in poetry and drama, an innovator firmly rooted in the unceasing re-creation of the Romantic tradition, though always with a teasing ironic distance. He is a grand solitary, convinced of an artistic mission that he regards as a state of internal concentration, alertness, and ethical sensitivity.

Cieszę się, że w końcu sięgnęłam po Różewicza.

Niektóre wiersze z tego tomiku to mocne 5/5, niektóre zupełnie do mnie nie trafiły, ale jednak napisane były bardzo dobrze.

Kim ja jestem, żeby Różewicza oceniać? Lubię tę poezję, nawet jeśli słowo "lubię" jest tu tak strasznie nieodpowiednie. Podoba mi się ta erudycja, mieszanie porządków, sprytne wikłanie tonów podniosłych w codzienną banalność. Cenię za celne uchwycenie wszechobecnej komercji, jakby nieprzystającej do świata ludzi takich jak Różewicz. I za wracający temat uczenia się na nowo świata i pojęć oraz poczucie ciągłego nieprzystosowania.
Obiecałem sobie czytać więcej poezji

I haven’t read this book!

Yet, there was no entry for ‚Moja Coreczka‘ (which I did read and enjoy) on Goodreads.

Rózewicz ble både litt religiøs og bitter på sine eldre dager. Gleder meg til å lese ungdomsdiktene hans.

Mniej lubię tę wersję Różewicza. Trochę o wszystkim i w każdym stylu (i niemieckość, i żarty, i absurdy, i filozofia historia sztuki). Ostatecznie mało rezonowało.

Do zapamiętania: Nosorożec i Szukanie kluczy.

Mam mieszane odczucia bo w tym tomiku znalazłam i takie totalnie meh wiersze, i takie które stały się moimi nowymi ulubionymi
