WOJACZEK Rafał - I walk and ask.

A selection of poetry by Rafal Wojaczek (1945-1971). Introduction by Ziemowit Fedecki.

The main themes of Wojaczek's poetry are death, love, fascination with femininity and carnality (usually framed in turpist aesthetics). The lyrical subject of his poems usually speaks of pain, a sense of separateness; he rebels against the hypocrisy of the world and society, on the other hand he explores his fears and anxieties. The language of Wojaczek's poetry is usually very naturalistic and brutal, he does not shy away from vulgarisms, due to which the censors sometimes stopped his publications. Despite his bluntness, Wojaczek often smuggled in deep lyricism and a desire for tenderness, which at the time created a combination that was one of a kind.

Wojaczek often discusses or alludes in his poems to the classics of Polish Romanticism, mainly Mickiewicz and Norwid, which was also unusual at the time and still accounts for the uniqueness of his poetry today.
