IN THE MEDIUM OF POETRY. OVEREXPOSED PHOTOGRAPHS – BOHDAN ZADURA
In his collection “Nocne życie (Silesius 2011) Bohdan Zadura proposes a journey where sleep-like visions intersperse with pieces from our reality, which results in an absorbing composition. Comments on everyday life, with a bit of irony and humour, are the main attractions of the reader’s trip into the night life. In “Kropka nad i” (2014) the author proves how keen an observer of reality he is – he lists its paradoxes, raises his doubts, points out the absurdities.
