This extraordinary afternoon, celebrating Polish Independence with poetry and music, presents the work of Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska (1891-1945), one of Poland’s most beloved poets, known as the “Polish Sappho” and “Poetess of Love.”
Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska was a groundbreaking voice in Polish poetry—the first female poet to boldly write about women’s intimate experiences, passion, eroticism, and the enchantment of love. Her poetry continues to pulse with emotion, captivating phrases, and an apotheosis of love that transports readers from everyday life into a world of dreams, wonder, and deep feeling.
