Bolesław Leśmian – the Poet of Enchanted Existence

Polish Poetry Unites is a video series for anyone interested in literature, history and reading. In each episode Edward Hirsch, a distinguished American poet, and the president of the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, will introduce a celebrated Polish poet to American audiences. This episode of Polish Poetry Unites introduces to American audiences the life and work of Bolesław Leśmian. Following the forward by Edward Hirsch about the life and work of the poet, the video showcases the story of Kinga Fulara, a high school student from Starachowice, Poland who presents Lesmian’s poem The Secret, in translation of Joanna Trzzeciak Huss. Edward Hirsch states: “Lesmian is a remarkable figure in Polish poetry. He is born in 1877. He died in 1937. He’s writing at a time when Polish literature was very nationalistic, filled with political and social concerns. He took Polish poetry in another direction, in a more inward, psychological, philosophical direction. He’s hard to get a handle on because he was so formally inventive. His work is filled with neologisms and a very experimental syntax. He’s a cosmopolitan person, the first European poet really to bring the techniques of symbolism and expressionism into Polish poetry.
