The Sound of Modern Polish Poetry: Performance and Recording after World War II.

"The Sound of Modern Polish Poetry: Performance and Recording after World War II" by Aleksandra Kremer is a scholarly study that explores the material history of poetry in Poland. The book examines how Polish poets in the twentieth century became interested in reading their own poetry aloud and recording it, regardless of whether these recordings were intended for public distribution. Kremer celebrates the diversity of each poet's practice and their unique conclusions about orality and voice. The book provides a detailed analysis of specific types of oral performances, such as recordings made in exile, literary salons, and in-person readings, and offers important insights for scholars and students of Polish poetry.
