Wyjście

The poet sees through glitter and trash and plays with kitsch without malice. In one poem he sits in his poor stall at a rickety table, ashamed, while supermarkets overflow with baskets of bestsellers. The world has an inhuman pace and measure, in which truth and fulfilment are impossible and only senseless success remains; words, he writes, have been used up, though in his childhood one could lay a word on a wound. Alongside this bitterness come poems that read as professions of faith, autobiographies or testaments.
