Summary/Abstract: The author of this article refers to the poet’s participation in the Second contest of “Wiadomości Literackie” in 1924. The initiator of the contest was Antoni Słonimski and its purpose was to prepare the funniest interpretation of poems by Stanisław Salkowski, who had been regarded by Słonimski as a “king of graphomaniacs.” Słonimski had a regular column in Worst books, where in a humoristic way he fought graphomanic texts. The author of this article makes references to Liebert’s social connections with the poets comprising the Skamander group. Exceptionally friendly relations were between Liebert and the Iwaszkiewiczs, Jarosław and Hanna. An important point of reference in the article was artistic work of the Skamander group (there also appears Magdalena Samozwaniec – the laureate of the contest mocking the most “inept man of letters”).
