A volume of poetry by Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz - a poet, essayist, and translator, author of the multi-volume series on Mickiewicz titled Jak bajeczne żurawie / Like Fabulous Cranes and of Leśmian. Encyklopedia / Leśmian - An Encyclopaedia. In his new volume, the author remains faithful to original Baroque and Romantic poetics and the literary and musical themes that are known to his readers, among them, especially his thema regium, crowning theme - death.
The darkness of poetry is not the creation of poets; it is instead the core of poetry itself. If we were to take poetry apart, turn it inside out, see its stitching - we would see darkness. That something - that darkness - resides at its base. It was placed there long ago by some gods. When we enter this darkness, we also penetrate the deepest layers of our existence on this Earth. (Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz in a conversation with Piotr Szewc, "Nowe Książki / New Books" 2001, nr 8)
Book nominated for both: the NIKE 2003 Literary Award and the Józef Mackiewicz Literary Prize (more...).
