Ewa Lipska
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ewa Lipska, born October 8, 1945, in Kraków, a Polish poet from the generation of the Polish "New Wave." Collections of her verse have been translated into English, Czech, Danish, Dutch, German and Hungarian. She lives in Vienna and Kraków.
According to Adam Mickiewicz Institute' website:
| While her verse may have some connections with politics, it always documents concrete personal experiences without reaching for grand generalizations. As it unmasks the language of propaganda, her poetry also indicates the weaknesses of language in general as an instrument of human perception and communication.[1] |
