About Tadeusz Dabrowski:
Born in 1979, Dabrowski is a Polish poet, essayist, and editor whose poetry has been translated into over 20 languages. Often compared to literary greats like Tadeusz Różewicz, Zbigniew Herbert, and Wisława Szymborska, his work blends philosophical insight with minimalist language and emotional clarity.

His poems have appeared in The New Yorker, The Paris Review, Boston Review, AGNI, and Poetry Review. English-language collections include Black Square and POSTS (Zephyr Press), with The Scent of Man forthcoming in October 2025.

Dąbrowski is the recipient of numerous literary honors. He is the editor-in-chief of the literary magazine Topos and curates the European Poet of Freedom Festival in Gdansk, where he lives with his partner and two children.
