Abstract
One of Poland’s leading literary figures, Grzegorz Wróblewski was born in Gdańsk in 1962, grew up in Warsaw, and moved to Copenhagen in 1985. Described by Marjorie Perloff as “the true poetic chronicler of our 21st century diaspora in all its absurdities and anxieties,”2 Wróblewski has published dozens of volumes of poetry, prose, and drama in Poland, as well as several books in Denmark and other countries. Active in the contemporary music scene, he has collaborated with several performers and musicians based in Europe, including Olga Magieres, Bobi Peru, Paweł “Kelner” Rozwadowski, and the punk rock band Deuter. As a visual artist, he has exhibited his paintings in various galleries in Denmark, Germany, England, and Poland. Exceptionally prolific and versatile, Wróblewski is no stranger to Anglophone readers. English translations of his poetry appear in several volumes, including my translations Kopenhaga (Zephyr Press, 2013), Zero Visibility (Phoneme Media/Deep Vellum, 2017), and Dear Beloved Humans: Selected Poems (Diálogos Books, 2023).
