ABOUT ANNA FRAJLICH AND HER POEMS (WITH AN AWARD IN THE BACKGROUND)

The paper is an attempt at an overview of Anna Frajlich’s poetry in regard to awarding her the prize of the Association of Polish Writers Abroad for her lifetime accomplishments in London in 2015. It points out the significance of the March ’68 emigration, the poet's need to define her own identity and to find a new place to live, the evolution of her attitude to New York City. It particularly emphasizes the need of closer analysis of family and oneiric motifs. It discusses a number of poetry-related issues from the point of view of the poet’s literary provenance and in the context of the author-reader relation.
