Defense Mechanism - Paperback
by Piotr Florczyk (Translator), Krzysztof Siwczyk (Author)
In Defense Mechanism, Krzysztof Siwczyk attempts to conventionalize-in the form of a dramatic one-act play-the basic dialectic of light and darkness. This dialectic turns out to be the leaven of every poetic act. From this poisoned source of poetry understood as a mediation between what is clear in the language and that which obscures that clarity, comes the "defense mechanism"-a test of voices whose fate is to drift toward the chiaroscuro border. This is a bilingual edition and includes the Polish-language original.
