AdamZagajewski is considered the pre-eminent poet of the generation of Polish writers born after World War II.
Stanislaw Baranczak identifies Zagajewski as a member of "the generation whose birthdate coincides with the establishment of the Communist order and whose youth was spent rebelling against it." Zagajewski was born on June 21, 1945, in Lvov, in eastern Poland.
In these poems, Zagajewski attempts to restore mystery and ecstasy to modern poetry, as he expresses the conflict between his urge to accept the world and his impulse to flee from it.
Zagajewski (born in Lwow in 1945) is a poet of the post WWII generation, whose work is known and enjoyed on both shores of the Atlantic puddle.
Zagajewski was unwittingly competing against Gunter Grass, Milan Kundera, Marguerite Duras, and the eventual recipient of the prize, Kenzaburo Oe.
Zagajewski, when questioned about these lines, called them "reflections of the citizen." He interpreted this fragment as defining his poetic mission to counter the influence of mass culture and oppose the superficiality and spiritual numbness which arrive in its wake.
