Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the more than fifty‑year‑old friendship and the accompanying literary dialogue between Andrzej Busza and Bogdan Czaykowski. These two outstanding Polish poets first met in the fifties of the last century in London, England, in the milieu of the poetic group “Kontynenty”. Subsequently, both taught at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. What united them, above all, was a shared passion for literature: the main topic of their dialogue. The conversations of the two poets focused to a large extent on their poetry; but at the same time, they worked jointly on translations (mostly from Polish into English). They also published dialogues in which they discussed a variety of contemporary issues.
