Julia Fiedorczuk – författare

Naturen flödar över i Julia Fiedorczuks dikter. Hennes stora engagemang och miljön och människorna i den gör henne till en stark och uppfriskande röst i den samtida polska poesin. Julia Fiedorczuk föddes 1975 Warszawa, där hon alltjämt är bosatt. Sedan debuten 2000 har hon har gett ut fem diktsamlingar, två novellsamlingar och två romaner, samt översatt essäer av bland andra Laurie Anderson och John Ashbery. För urvalet och översättningen står Irena Grönberg.

Fiedorczuk was inspired by her readings of the original Hebrew Psalms, as well as by the process of learning to sing. In her poems she captures the heartache and joy of the Biblical Psalms, but in the context of modern life. She addresses climate change, loss of biodiversity, the upheavals of migration, and, in her most recent poems, the return of war to Europe: “Even when bombs are falling you ought to write / perhaps even especially when people lost / in the woods are saying cold, she is so cold.”Fiedorczuk writes of the natural world, the built environment, motherhood, brotherhood, and of vast and tiny passages of time. And as she does, she discovers a new voice, singing to soothe and inspire.whose flower made from a clod of pain will enfold the milky way with its claws of time, its pelt of stars?—Excerpt from “Psalm XVII”

Inspired by Lynn Keller’s notion of “the self-conscious Anthropocene,” the book sets out to consider poetry as a privileged space for rethinking our basic epistemological assumptions. Poetry does not have the kind of agency a direct political intervention has; in fact, as W. H. Auden famously put it, “poetry makes nothing happen.” On the other hand, poetry is crucial when it comes to awakening our individual and collective imagination. Considering the statement by Lawrence Buell that the current ecological crisis is, in the first place, a crisis of the imagination, this function of poetry comes through as particularly important.
