Artur Chlewin ski

    Vor dem Drahtnetz
    Zum Verwischen, zum Auslöschen
    Der Canyon glüht, bleckt die Zähne
    In front of the wire net
    For blotting out, for blacking out
    It glows it grins
    • 2018

      It rarely happens in poetry; in the little volume It glows it grins the inspiration of the earlier little volume For blotting out, for blacking out /2015/ is maintained. What is more, the author nourishes the inspiration from three years ago and simultaneously stimulates its creativity; he comes back to those same National Parks in the USA , but also visits others, as to juxtapose his own vision with them. In each poem he checks reality of the inspiration, seeks out where the inspiration comes from, in which wonders of nature overlap the fate of Indians, and the history of Unshaken Cursed Soldiers fighting against Bolshevik occupation under which Poland was after World War II. Was such a vision subjective contamination, or real element, and if it is a mixture, what proportions, then? On the way to a poetical decision Grand Canyon dazzles, grins and reveals nothingness; although it could be a gorgeous war bonnet of Indian leaders, a bed on the wedding night. Different worlds, a step from each other. There are photos in both volumes, in order that a reader could follow the vision and assess if it is valuable, cognitively, vitally, evaluatingly.

      For blotting out, for blacking out
    • 2015

      When my country accepts foreign proportions as obviousness - the steel smashes to pieces on a tree; when my country does not defend the honourof the fallen, and their bodies against desecration - is a question about the identity not to raise in poetry? I check in myselfhow the tender is putfor the soul of the wingstrodden into the mud. Everyone could seethe power that acceleratesthe lifenoticeably only on the remains of something great. And those who did not noticehave even got the azure second-hand.
