Recently, the author published a new poem “Bach’s singing of the faces of war…” on his pages in social networks. We also published it on the website:

Professor of Lodz University Anna Bednarchyk was inspired by the new work and translated the poem into Polish.
It is interesting that a lexical problem appeared during the translation into Polish:
lico is an archaic word, and the Polish twarze did not fit. Therefore, it was decided to make one poetic transformation.
The result of Bednarchyk’s poetic translation:
Bacha
śpiewy wojny
ust.
Nie pytaj więce
dlaczego tam
nie lata ptak.
Dlaczego ziemię
zorał strach.
Dlaczego powierta
mur zbrukała
krew.
Nawet sny
śpią w objęciach z wyciem
syreny.
(Anna Bednarczyk)
