Lola Szereszewska (1895–1943) – the Forgotten Poet of the Peripheries

Summary/Abstract: This article aims at reading “Uchodźcom” [“To Refugees”] in the context of Polish-Jewish literature. A forgotten poet of the interwar period in Poland, Lola (Leonia) Szereszewska (1895–1943, born Lola Rotbard) is mostly unknown to readers and academics; she was, however, a respected author in after World War I. She published five volumes of poetry and poetic prose: Kontrasty [Contrasts] (1917), Trimurti. Fantazje historyczne [Trimurti. Historical Fancies] (1919), Ulica [The Street] (1930), Niedokończony dom [The Unfinished Home] (1936), Gałęzie [Branches] (1938), all in prestigious publishing houses. Reading her poems allows us to investigate the universal processes of exclusion and alienation.
