Anna Frajlich has traveled to Krakow, Lublin, Szczecin and Warsaw to promote her new volume of verse, Odrastamy od drzewa (Forma, 2024), as well as her recent book about Nobel laureate Wisława Szymborska (Forma, 2023).

From Piotr Michałowski’s Afterword:

“One of the main themes of Anna Frajlich’s new collection of poems is empathy for victims of violence, both distant and unknown, as well as those remembered from personal experience.The poet finds the repetition of fate in the recent escapes of the people of Lviv, which remind her of her own wanderings with the repeatedly forced change of place and the search for a temporary shelter or a permanent new home.
