Łobodowski regained

Abstract

The paper discusses the new edition of poems by emigrant poet Józef Łobodowski, prepared by Test Publishing House, entitled Poems and Translations. The book comprises three volumes of beautifully arranged texts and is addressed to “a wide circle of readers”. The preparation of such a wide-ranging edition of Lobodowski’s poetry required an enormous effort, involving not only a search for translations scattered in the emigration press, but also editorial work that took into account the specific nature of the edition. This is an important complement to the work of the emigrant poet, showing his fascinations and his workshop.
