Poets' A-Z » Jakub Ekier
Jakub Ekier was born in 1961 in Warsaw. He is a poet, translator,
essayist, and editor. He graduated in German Studies from
Warsaw University. His collection Caly Czas ('For
the whole time') was published in 1992, and podczas ciebie
('During you') in 1999.
He has translated, among others, Celan, Kunze, Kafka and Lise
Aichinger. His works have been inspired by Celan and Ryszard
Krynicki's poetry. They are characterized by an unusual, almost
epigrammatic linguistic brevity, ambiguity and poetic compactness.

Polish Poetry (Arc, 2003).
