Wojciech Bonowicz was born in Oswiecim in 1967. He is well-known for his biography of Father Jozef Tischner (chaplain to the Solidarity movement and bestselling philosopher), is a poet and literary critic, as well as columnist for the weekly Tygodnik Powszechny. He lives in Krakow.

"I like situational poems, poems that tell stories. And poems that - like life - do not have a distinctive punch line", Bonowicz says. His poems are usually short: "I cross out more than I write", he adds. "Of the several versions I write down, I most often choose the roughest one." His fourth and most recent collection is Pelne Morze / The High Seas (2006).
