We recently added a new work by Aleksander Korotko “Behind the fortress wall of winter…” to the Poetry section of the website.
Read the original poems here:

Almost immediately after Korotko published the poems on his Facebook page, the text was translated into Polish and Hebrew.

Za forteczną
ścianą
zimy Wojna dojrzała – taka nagroda.
Na tym
pogranicznym
pasie,
w kazamatach
pamięci o Kraju my Wszyscy
podobni
do siebie.
Tutaj marzenia bez skóry i dni
morderczych
zasadzka.
The author of the translation is professor Andrzej Wicher.
