Cztery wiersze drohobyckie

The Drohobycz poems by Paweł Huelle – one of the most outstanding Polish contemporary prose writers and essayists – are micro-essays reflecting on the elements of the Drohobycz imaginarium perceptible in a discursive diction, as well as the presence in that imaginarium of the biography of Bruno Schulz together with the important motifs of his oeuvre. Huelle considered, predominantly, memory landscapes linked with landscapes of death (in their historical and existential dimensions), the visibility of the world and the radical blurring of its image in the wake of the Shoah catastrophe, and, finally, the role of art as a form of seeking and reviving our sources of existence.
