Awangarda Krakowska

Awangarda Krakowska

▪ Polish literary movement
Polish“Vanguard of Kraków”

      avant-garde literary movement in Poland, launched in Kraków in 1922 and centring around a local periodical, Zwrotnica (1922–27; “Switch”). Tadeusz Peiper, the first poet in Poland to advance a poetics opposed to that of the Skamander group of poets (who had turned toward the classical in their effort to forge a modernist poetry), was Zwrotnica's editor from 1922 to 1923 and again from 1926 to 1927. (Peiper is remembered for his theories rather than for his poetry.) The journal produced few works but had widespread influence in the modernization of poetic technique, following similar movements such as Futurism in France, Russia, and Italy. Awangarda Krakowska opposed the lyrical and—in its opinion—anti-intellectual poetry of Poland's most popular contemporary poets of the Skamander group. Associated with the movement were Julian Przyboś (Przyboś, Julian), who introduced a theory of poetry as a new language system and who became one of the leading poets after World War II; Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz (Witkiewicz, Stanisław Ignacy), who published two of his plays in Zwrotnica; and, somewhat marginally, Józef Czechowicz (Czechowicz, Józef), who assimilated traditional and regional elements to the catastrophic images in his poems.
