Aleksandra Byrska
girl power
The brown wave travels
with a full silent tide
hormones like particles
Vibrating in the air
Hide yourself.
let the pain dig through the passageways
You will be given the loneliness of your hair
Don't tell anyone.

Aleksandra Byrska is simply a poet, doctor of humanities in literature, literary critic, librarian and speech therapist. She co-founded a collective of writing girls "Sfinga". Her poems were translated into English. The published poem comes from the debut poetic book Calcite, which in the autumn of 2025 will be published by the Association of Polish Writers in Łódź and the home of Literature in Łódź.

Free row is the “Liberté!” space, which takes into account important, most progressive and dynamic changes in Polish poesy in fresh years. Poems will respond to current events, but besides avoid them erstwhile times require political silence, and passions are not a good advisor in interpreting reality.
