Detailed Information on Publication Record

The author of the book focuses on the issue of the person and work of probably the most controversial writer of the Czech Těšín region, Paweł Kubisz (May 12, 1907, Konská - August 19, 1968, Český Těšín), whose personal life is just as remarkable, if not more interesting than his work - the adjective rioter or stormtrooper applies to him. Kubisz introduced the tones of Young Poland into pre-war poetry, later enriching his focus with the program stimuli of sub-Halalan regionalism and post-war Polish regionalism. Thanks to him, with his collection of poetry Przednówek (Český Těšín, 1937) he brought the Těšín dialect in a stylized form to Polish interwar poetry. He could not build on the pre-war success of this collection after the war and, like Petr Bezruč (with whom he is often compared), he remained the so-called poet of one collection. In his post-war work, Kubisz continued to write poetry, but also tried other literary forms - prose and drama.
