Jarosław Marek RymkiewiczLeśmian. An Encyclopaedia
The work of Bolesław Leśmian is, in many people's opinion, the greatest achievement in the Polish verbal arts. He was nurtured on Symbolism and was fascinated by fantasy and the folk tales of many cultures. Leśmian preached ideas close to the tenets of the 20th-century Avant-Garde, about the idiosyncrasy of the language of poetry, which should differ from colloquial speech. He could select archaic and dialect words in such a way as to make them sound like the neologisms he coined, and that is why the expressions characteristic of his poetry are called Lesmianisms. One of the unique qualities of his verse is its integral mixture of pensiveness and humour, seriousness and laughter.
