After Miłosz: Polish Poetry in the 20Th and the 21Th Century Chicago, Chopin Theatre, 9/30 –10/3 2011 After Miłosz: Polish Poetry In the 20th and the 21th Century Chicago, Chopin Theatre, 9/30 –10/3 2011 THE FESTIVAL The Chicago's literary festival titled After Milosz: Polish Poetry in the 20th and 21th Century is the largest presentation of Polish poetry in the United States this year. The festival celebrates the year of Czeslaw Milosz and commemorates the centennial anniversary of the birth of the Nobel Prize winner. The event goes beyond a familiar formula of commenting the work of the poet and offers a broader view on the contemporary Polish poetry. Besides the academic conference dedicated to Milosz's work, and a panel with the greatest America poets (Jorie Graham, Charles Simic) remembering the artist and discussing his influence on American poetry, the program includes readings of the most talented modern Polish poets of three generations. From the best known (Zagajewski, Sommer) to the most often awarded young writer nowadays, Justyna Bargielska. An important part of the festival will be two concerts: the opening show will present the best Polish rappers FISZ and EMADE whose songs are inspired by Polish poetry; another concert will present one of the best jazz singers in the world, Patricia Barber, who will perform especially for this occasion. The main organizers of the festival are the Fundation of Tygodnik Powszechny magazine and the Joseph Conrad International Literary Festival in Krakow, for which the Chicago festival is a portion of the larger international project for promoting Polish literature abroad. The co- organizer of the festival is the Head of the Slavic Department at University of Illinois at Chicago, Professor Michal Pawel Markowski, who represents also the Polish Interdisciplinary Program at UIC supported by The Hejna Fund, and also serves as the artistic director to the Conrad Festival. The festival After Milosz will take place in the Chopin Theater, one of the most independent and vivid cultural centers in Chicago. The festival is financed by the Polish Ministry of Culture and Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Complete information about the festival can be found on our website at www.aftermilosz.com. PROGRAM Friday, September 30, 2011 5.30 PM: Opening reception 9 PM: FISZ/EMADE: LIVE CONCERT. Best Polish rappers perform music inspired by Polish poetry FISZ/ EMADE Fisz (Bartosz Waglewski) is an award winning Polish rap artist. He is the son of musician Wojciech Waglewski and older brother of Emade (Piotr Waglewski). Studied in Europejska Akademia Sztuk (EAS).Musical style of Fisz is unconventional. At the very beginning of his career he started out as a Hip-hop artist, but went experimental soon after releasing Tworzywo Sztuczne - Wielki Ciężki Słoń in 2004. Fisz and his producer Emade seek inspiration in black music giving soul, funk and jazz touch to their projects. His lyrics are often based on wordplay.Internationally he gave concerts on stages of London, Berlin, Bordeaux, Calvi, Dijon, Marseille, Vienna, Budapest, Prague, Paris and Saint Vellier.

Michal Pawel Markowski (UIC), What is Objective Poetry Speakers: Clare Cavanagh teaches Slavic and Comparative Literatures at Northwestern University. Her most recent book, Lyric Poetry and Modern Politics: Russia, Poland, and the West (Yale UP, 2010), received the 2011 National Book Critics Circle Prize in Criticism. Recent volumes of translations include: Wislawa Szymborska, Here (Harcourt, 2010, with Stanislaw Baranczak), which received the 2010 Found in Translation Awards, and Adam Zagajewski, Unseen Hand (Farrar Straus and Giroux, 2011). She is an associate editor of the revised Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics (2012), and is currently working on a biography of Czeslaw Milosz for Farrar Straus and Giroux. Her essays and translations have appeared in TLS, the New Yorker, the New Republic, the New York Times, Poetry, and other publications. Oren Izenberg is the English Department Visiting Scholar at the University of Illinois at Chicago. His first book,Being Numerous: The Poetic Imagination of the Ground of Social Life, (Princeton, 2011) describes the ways in which 20th century poets responded to a century of crisis and rethought, by means of their art, the question of what counts as a person. A new project, Lyric Poetry and the Philosophy of Mind, proposes that the object the mind makes—principally, the lyric poem— might be better understood by giving some attention to our strongest recent accounts of the nature and structure of thought. It places poems alongside recent work in (analytic) philosophy, considering works of art variously as examples, dramatizations of, and experiments in the mind’s workings. Mira Rosenthal is the author of the poetry collection The Local World and the translator of several books by Polish poet Tomasz Rożycki. Among her awards are fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the PEN American Center, the American Council of Learned Societies, and the Fulbright Commission.

Na płycie znajduje się 15 utworów. Kompozytorem większości z nich jest Wojciech Waglewski. Teksty napisali Wojciech Waglewski i Fisz, producentem albumu jest Emade. „Nasza wspólna płyta to naturalny owoc wieloletnich poszukiwań trójki dojrzałych artystów. Ja miałem ochotę wydać płytę z piosenkami w innym składzie niż Voo Voo. Chłopcy, którzy operują na co dzień samplerami i dźwiękami syntetycznymi, zapragnęli stworzyć coś opartego na brzmieniach akustycznych. Wszyscy trzej byliśmy stęsknieni za melodiami, których brakuje w tym, co robimy na co dzień. Nie ukrywam też, że przy okazji płyty Marysi Peszek zachwyciłem się tym, co Emade potrafi studyjnie wydobyć z żywego grania. Pojawił się więc pomysł, żeby oddać w jego ręce moje gitarowe piosenki. Efekt bywa bardzo eklektyczny (pojawia się nawet, z przymrużeniem oka, country) i zaskakujący, nawet dla mnie czasem cicha, akustyczna balladka zamienia się w gęsty, wykręcony numer.” Skład zespołu Waglewski Fisz Emade: Wojciech Waglewski - gitara śpiew Fisz - bas, śpiew Emade - perkusja Mariusz Obijalski - instrumenty klawiszowe Bartek Łęczycki - harmonijka Więcej informacji: www.myspace.com/waglewskifiszemade Premiera płyty odbyła się 1 lutego 2008 r. 24 listopada, godz. 17.00, cena biletu 25 zł Akcja finansowana z budżetu Miasta i pod patronatem Prezydenta Miasta Ostrołęki polecam i zapraszam... 4 XI (niedziela) NAJPIĘKNIEJSZE BAJKI BALETOWE spektakl taneczny Zapraszamy na spektakl prezentujący fragmenty najpiękniejszych baśni takich jak: Kopciuszek, Dziadek do Orzechów, Jezioro Łabędzie i Czerwony Kapturek.

No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. INTRODUCTION “We were taught as children”—I was told by a seventy- year-old Pole—“that we Poles never harmed anyone. A partial abandonment of this morally comfortable position is very, very difficult for me.” —Helga Hirsch, a German journalist, in Polityka, 24 February 2001 HE COMPLEX and often acrimonious debate about the charac- ter and significance of the massacre of the Jewish population of T the small Polish town of Jedwabne in the summer of 1941—a debate provoked by the publication of Jan Gross’s Sa˛siedzi: Historia za- głady z˙ydowskiego miasteczka (Sejny, 2000) and its English translation Neighbors: The Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland (Princeton, 2001)—is part of a much wider argument about the totali- tarian experience of Europe in the twentieth century. This controversy reflects the growing preoccupation with the issue of collective memory, which Henri Rousso has characterized as a central “value” reflecting the spirit of our time.1 One key element in the understanding of collec- tive memory is the “dark past” of nations—those aspects of the na- tional past that provoke shame, guilt, and regret; this past needs to be integrated into the national collective identity, which itself is continu- ally being reformulated.2 In this sense, memory has to be understood as a public discourse that helps to build group identity and is inevita- bly entangled in a relationship of mutual dependence with other iden- tity-building processes.

    CITY LIGHTS PUBLISHERS CELEBRATING 60 YEARS 1955-2015 261 Columbus Ave | San Francisco, CA 94133 Juan Felipe Herrera has been appointed the 21st Poet Laureate of the United States for 2015-2016! Forthcoming from City Lights this September will be Herrera’s new collection of poems titled Notes on the Assemblage. Herrera, who succeeds Charles Wright as Poet Laureate, said of the appointment, “This is a mega-honor for me, for my family and my parents who came up north before and after the Mexican Revolution of 1910—the honor is bigger than me. I want to take everything I have in me, weave it, merge it with the beauty that is in the Library of Congress, all the resources, the guidance of the staff and departments, and launch it with the heart-shaped dreams of the people. It is a miracle of many of us coming together.” Herrera joins a long line of distinguished poets who have served in the position, including Natasha Trethewey, Philip Levine, W. S. Merwin, Kay Ryan, Charles Simic, Donald Hall, Ted Kooser, Louise Glück, Billy Collins, Stanley Kunitz, Robert Pinsky, Robert Hass and Rita Dove. The new Poet Laureate is the author of 28 books of poetry, novels for young adults and collections for children, most recently Portraits of Hispanic American Heroes (2014), a picture book showcasing inspirational Hispanic and Latino Americans. His most recent book of poems is Senegal Taxi (2013). A new book of poems from Juan Felipe Herrera titled Notes on the Assemblage is forthcoming from City Lights Publishers in September 2015.

  • POLES and JEWS TODAY Madeline G. Levine "Everyone Knows That Poles Imbibe Anti~Semitism with Their M
    WRESTLING WITH GHOSTS: POLES AND JEWS TODAY Madeline G. Levine "Everyone knows that Poles imbibe anti~Semitism with their mothers' milk." '1t's a well-known fact that those who accuse Poles of anti-Semitism are enemies of Poland." Everyone who has spent any time talking to Poles and Jews about the relations between them has heard some version of the sentiments paraphrased in these two comments. Even though Jews and Poles no longer live together in Poland, the simple phrase "Poles and Jews" evokes powerful emotions. Jews have bitter memories of friction and conflict, of being despised and threatened by Poles. Distrust of and dislike of Poles is handed down within the culture; most Jews today have had no personal experience of living among Poles. In contrast, when challenged to think about Polish-Jewish relations, Poles are quite likely to recall the good old days before the Nazis came when Poles and Jews got along very well with each other. But this sentimental memory is often linked with a sense of betrayal; since Jewish-Polish relations are remembered as good, Jewish accusations of Polish anti-Semitism are perceived as base ingratitude, if not treachery. In the ethnic cauldron that is Eastern Europe, there is nothing unusual about the historic frictions between Poles and Jews, for there can be little doubt that intense ethnic animosity is one of the principal features of the region. To be sure, Eastern Europe is not unique in this regard Ethnic conflict is a universal phenomenon, emerging from a tangled web of linguistic, religious, economic, and (broadly defined) cultural differences.

  • A Journey Through Polish Literature
    A JOURNEY THROUGH POLISH LITERATURE European Literature 09 OCTOBRE 2013 GORA BERNADETTE Henryk Sienkiewicz (1905), Władysław Reymont (1924), Czesław Miłosz (1980), Wisława Szymborska (1996). How many of you know these four authors and know what they have in common, besides their nationalities? The four of them were awarded a Nobel Prize but nevertheless remain little known outside of Poland. How many of you can give the name of, at least, one polish contemporary author? These examples, among many others, prove that Polish literature remains unknown despite it being a big part of European literature. To start my presentation, I’d like you to have a look on this quotation by Czesław Miłosz who wrote, among other, a book about the History of Polish Literature (The History of Polish Literature, Berckeley,1969). In his work, he wrote “Polish literature focused more on drama and the poetic expression of the self than on fiction (which dominated the English-speaking world). The reasons find their roots on the historical circumstances of the nation.” Over a first phase, it thus seems important to start out with a broad overview of the general history of Polish literature throughout the ages before we can understand what happened during the 20th century, and fully understand the main references to the previous time periods which we can find today.
