Hailed as “the hope of Polish poetry” and the inheritor of the metaphysical tradition in Polish letters, Tadeusz Dąbrowski offers these “posts” from city streets and trains, his bedroom and Skype, a hospital and his own notebook, as he explores such subjects as faith, eros, death, language and the making of poems.
 
Tadeusz Dąbrowski (b. 1979) is a poet, essayist, and critic whose work has been published in major journals in Poland and abroad, including The New Yorker, Boston Review, Agni, American Poetry Review, Tin House, Harvard Review, Poetry Ireland, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, and many others.
