About Aufgabe No. 9

My aim with this project was to offer some points of convergence and proliferation, both on [Miron] Białoszewski and contemporary Polish poetry today. It in no way purports to be exhaustive, but it is my deepest hope that the selections here offer what Michael Palmer might call “the hum of the possible-to-say.”

— Mark Tardi, “The Salt of Structure: Miron Białoszewski & the Future of Innovative Polish Poetry”
