Julian Kornhauser (1946, Gliwice, Poland) was a member of the Generation of 1968, the young Polish poets who came after Szymborska, Herbert and Różewicz. With Adam Zagajewski he co-edited “The Unrepresented World” (1974), a collection of essays which served as the group’s manifesto. He has published twelve books of poems, three novels, and translations of six books of poetry from the Bulgarian, Croatian, and Serbian. Prizes and national recognition have come his way. Yet Piotr Florczyk’s versions of his poems are the first translations available to an English-reading audience.
