Description
Aleksander Wat. This extraordinary poet can be seen against the background of three periods of
the 20th century. Born in 1900 to a Jewish merchant family in Warsaw, he became an anarchist
and futurist, edited a communist journal, and was imprisoned by the Polish police. At the beginning
of WWII he was arrested by the Soviets and spent several years in Soviet prisons. He returned to
Poland an anticommunist in 1946, established an important publishing house (PIW), in the 1950s
suffered a stroke that resulted in severe recurring pain, and started to write poetry again. He
emigrated to Italy and France, and in 1967, after years of struggling with pain, he committed
suicide. The third part of the century saw the efforts of his widow Ola Wat (herself an interesting
writer) and a group of admirers to publish and promote his works, of which a large part remained
unfinished: My Century (conversations with Czes aw Mi osz), collected poems, letters,
miscellaneous papers, and notebooks. The uniqueness of Wat's oeuvre lies in the seamless
blending of several seemingly heterogeneous components. He draws from numerous sources,
including the Old and New Testaments, mythology, Oriental traditions, history, sociology, politics,
biology, and mineralogy, to name only a few. Yet at the same time his poems are extremely
sensual and somatic. Ideas, images, and dreams meld with important existential and theological
questions, oscillating between hilarious affirmation and complete skepticism and negation, and
undermined by suffering and pain.
