Dramatic Works
Paperback || Glagoslav Publications Ltd
"God hath denied me that angelic measure / Without which no man sees in me the poet," writes Zygmunt Krasinski in one of his most recognisable lyrics. Yet while it may be true that his lyric output cannot rival in quality the verses of the other two great Polish Romantics, Adam Mickiewicz and Juliusz Slowacki, Krasinski's dramatic muse gives no ground to any other.
The Glagoslav edition of the Dramatic Works of Zygmunt Krasinski provides the English reader, for the first time, with all of...

War Poems
2022 || Paperback || Alexander Korotko || Glagoslav Publications Ltd
Soon after Russia invaded Ukraine on 24th February 2022, author and poet Alexander Korotko began to set down as poetry the turbulent responses at the emotional, philosophical and simply human levels evoked by the resulting war. Thus, we read in the 88 poems in this volume – completed in just less than 100 days – of the seemingly endless wail of sirens; of sheltering in cellars and tunnels; of the celebrated Ukrainian steppe, churned by tanks; the dead – “our killed, have become our Sa...

2023 || Paperback || Jan Kochanowski || Glagoslav Publications Ltd
Jan Kochanowski (1530–1584) is not only the greatest Polish poet before Adam Mickiewicz, he is also one of the great figures of the European Renaissance.

While being the first major voice to shape the modern idiom of Polish, he also wrote in Latin, for w...

Ballads and Romances
2022 || Paperback || Adam Mickiewicz || Glagoslav Publications Ltd
The year 2022 has been designated the Year of Romanticism in Poland. An even two hundred years have passed since the first publication of Adam Mickiewicz’s Ballads and Romances — a collection of lyrics which has the same significance for Polish literature as Wordsworth and Coleridge’s Lyrical Ballads has for the English. Poems of love, the supernatural, and the exotic, Mickiewicz’s first volume of poetry achieved a level of sublimity that immediately set him at the head of all Polish ...
