Łeś Bełej
Lustrzany Sześcian
Lustrzany Sześcian / The Mirror Cube – at first glance, Łeś Bełej’s poems have a conventional, agreeable lyricism that gives them the impression of being cultured and sophisticated. However, upon closer examination, one may discern an endeavor to grasp the totality of human existence, with the poems annexing ever larger areas, ranging from geographical and temporal to cultural expansion. The erudition of this poet is admirable. The examination of the world is accompanied by the exploration of the self. While one frequently runs into tired (or worn-out) tropes or metaphors here, this first impression is misleading because the Author retains full control over them and avoids sentimentality. Lustrzny Sześcian / The Mirror Cube with its classicist spirit, is in fact avant-garde.
