SynopsisRegarded by the Poles as one of the greatest Polish poets of the 20th century, Baczynski ranks alongside with Czeslaw Milosz, Zbigniew Herbert and Wislawa Szymborska in his homeland, yet is is virtually unknown to English language readers, which this volume hopes to correct. Baczynski died in 1944, involved with the Warsaw Uprising against Nazi control., One of the greatest Polish poets of the 20th century, Baczynski was born in Warsaw in 1921. In the early war years he wrote copiously and studied Polish literature in the underground university, where he met Barbara Drapczynska, whom he married in 1942. The beautiful love poems he wrote to Barbara make up an important part of his writings. In 1943, he joined the Armia Krajowa (Home Army) of the Polish resistance. In August 1944, Baczynski was killed in action. His mother preserved his manuscripts and, in 1961, they were published for the first time.
