Description

Rafał Wojaczek is one of the most mysterious and controversial Polish poets, who made lust, love and death in all their most diverse manifestations one of the main themes of his exceptionally suggestive, drastically physiological poetry.

A mystifier and visionary who began attempting suicide as a teenager and showed an extraordinary interest in cemeteries. An alcoholic, provocateur and brawler who started fights, he was prone to depression and was examined in a psychiatric hospital for schizophrenia. A poet who very acutely felt the finitude of his own body and constantly tried to go beyond its limits to check how it was on the other side and quickly return. Once he failed. He slipped.

Combining the piercing purity of vision with a truly expressionist charm, Rafał Wojaczek described the processes of personality disintegration and the inability to adapt to reality. At the same time, his poems are characterized by deep lyricism and tenderness.

A cult poet for most young, rebellious Poles.
