Life


Kazimierz Wierzyński was born in Drohobycz (Drohobych), Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria.[2] He was a co-founder, with Julian Tuwim and three other poets, of the Skamander group of experimental poets.[3] His work Olympic Laurel (Polish: Laur olimpijski, 1927),[4] which idealizes the grace and fitness of athletes, won the gold medal for poetry at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam,[5][6] and his other early poems also celebrate the joy of living. In September 1939 after the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany, Wierzyński and his wife, Helena, escaped from Poland and through Romania, Yugoslavia, Italy, France, eventually reached USA where they stayed for almost twenty years.[7]

His later works, written in exile, are more somber and socially conscious. The Bitter Crop (1933) includes poems about the United States. His Forgotten Battlefield (1944) contains narratives of World War II. He died in London, England.[8]
