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”

Explorations of humans in the natural world using tender, sometimes erotic, always moving language. Julia Fiedorczuk entangles images and concepts from science (astronomy, physics, and biology) with deeply personal explorations of relationships and connectedness in her debut poetry book in English. Nature abounds in these poems, and Fiedorczuk is, in turn, ever present in "that luscious fruit, the world." Her passionate engagement with the details of the environment and the people in it makes hers an unforgettable voice in contemporary ecopoetics, one that argues for empathy and alertness. She has published five volumes of poetry, three of fiction, and three books on ecocriticism, and won several Polish literary awards.
