WIERZYŃSKI Kazimierz - Wielka Niedźwiedzica. Warsaw 1923. publishing society "Ignis". 16d, pp. 78, [2]. Broch.
Cover slightly stained, otherwise very good condition. Cover by Tadeusz Gronowski. First edition of an important-third volume of poetry by Kazimierz Wierzynski (1894-1969), an outstanding poet and member of Skamander. The volume signals a change in the theme and mood of the poet's poems. His poetry loses its joie de vivre, euphoria subsides, deeper reflection on the complex nature of life and the world comes, metaphysical themes appear. The poet includes war poems from 1914-1918 in this volume. According to critics: "Wierzynski's poetic output is astonishing both in its breadth and in the stature of its achievements, and the poetry contains such a wide range of human accomplishments that we can speak of the fullness that becomes the lot of only a few artists."
