Stanisław Barańczak o la rebeldía perpleja

Traditionally regarded as a political poet, Stanislaw Baranczak's work actually represents a lucid depiction of human being's existential complexities, but also a coherent drawing of the limits imposed upon him by society and transcendence. Baranczak's poetry was born on occasion of political conflicts in Popular Poland during the 70's, but since then has nevertheless sought more universal horizons, by a coherent vindication of the inalienable value of human freedom and human rights. Baranczak's Poetics much more reflects his main ethic concerns: a complex style, a profusion of quotes and cultist references, and a patent interest in formal experimentation (particularly in music as a limit or coadjutant to poetic creation) accurately give expression to those everlasting philosophical questions which have always disturbed human beings.
