Produktinformationen zu „Firebird (ePub)“
Energetic, formally audacious poems by a recently rediscovered Polish writer, shining examples of art as resistance.
Zuzanna Ginczanka's last poem, "Non omnis moriar..." ("Not all of me shall die"), written shortly before her execution by the Nazis in the last months of World War II, is one of the most famous and unsettling texts in modern East European literature: a fiercely ironic last will and testament that names the person who betrayed her to the occupying authorities as a Jew, it exposes the hypocrisy at the heart of Polish nationalist myths.
Ginczanka's linguistic exuberance and invention-reminiscent now of Marina Tsvetaeva, now of Marianne Moore or Mina Loy-are as exhilarating as the passionate fusion of the physical world and the world of ideas she advocated in her work. Firebird brings together many of Ginczanka's uncollected poems and presents On Centaurs, her sole published book, in its entirety.

Autoren-Porträt von Zuzanna Ginczanka
Zuzanna Ginczanka (1917-1945) was a Polish-Jewish poet and satirist. Born in Kyiv, Ginczanka was raised in Rowne, where her parents settled after fleeing from the Russian Civil War. Ginczanka was highly active in the Skamander poetic group, and her writing for Szpilki and Skamander magazines earned her a reputation as one of the most talented poets of the interwar period. In 1936, Ginczanka published her only volume of poetry, O Centaurach (About Centaurs). In 1945, Ginczanka was arrested and executed in Krakow, shortly before the end of World War II. Alissa Valles is the author of the poetry collection Hospitium. Her translations include Zbigniew Herbert's Collected Poems and Collected Prose and Ryszard Krynicki's Our Life Grows, which was published by NYRB Poets.
