"Anna Frajlich is a poet who was banished from Poland after the 1968 anti-Semitic campaign and found her own poetic haven in New York, but still returns to the places from her past. Not only Szczecin, where she had spent her youth, but also Warsaw, and even Lviv, which she remembers through the filter of her parents’ memories. It is a lost paradise, but sometimes spiced with bitter rejection and the condemnation to exile. An environment untouched by any ideology, Lviv remains for her the place of Polish poetry, which she engages in a continuous dialogue with and which she enriches with her own voice."
