Marcin ŚwietlickiOpen to Appeal
Marcin Świetlicki's poetry (b.1961) is frugal in form, one might almost say 'poor'. He uses modest means - often just one, imaginative, if ostensibly totally banal expression - to achieve lyrical effect. Emotional tension is created when typical social, family or erotic situations are confronted with the awareness that, in the face of approaching death, they are only momentarily of any meaning. The pathos of this realisation is made greater by the fact that its subject feels that he has been called, or is compelled in some other way, to experience the same suffering and emotions again and again, in order, eventually, to demonstrate them to the world, and in so doing fulfils the world's simultaneously absurd and destructive expectations.
