Twórczość

Twórczość (Creativity, or Creative Output) is a Polish monthly literary journal, first published in 1945. Since 1 April 2000, Twórczość has been published by the state-funded Book Institute (Instytut Książki).[1]

Twórczość publishes poetry, fiction and literary criticism.

Adam Ważyk was editor in chief from 1950 to 1954, when he was succeeded by Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz.[2] Other editors have included Andrzej Kijowski, writing under his pseudonym Daedalus, and Zdzisław Najder.

Nobel laureate Wisława Szymborska has contributed frequently to Twórczość from 1949 down to the present day.[3] Czesław Miłosz published several of his most important works in Twórczość in 1945-1951, but after he defected to the West he did not appear in Twórczość again until 1978.[4]

Poet Bohdan Zadura has been the editor in chief since October 2004.
