Lětopis Abstract 2012 1: Blidy, Monika: Bolesław Lubosz A Silesian Ambassador for Lusatia
This article draws a portrait of the lyric poet, journalist and translator, Bolesław Lubosz (19282001), who distinguished himself with his high
personal commitment to the dissemination of Sorbian literature and culture in Silesia. His interest in the Sorbs found expression in a number of
journalistic and literary critical articles (in publications including the cultural journals Poglądy and Zaranie
Śląskie). He edited two anthologies of Sorbian prose and lyric poetry in Katowice (1982 Latarnia. Wspσłczesna nowela
łużycka; 1993 Z biegiem Strugi, z biegiem lat. Antologia powojennej poezji Serbo-Łużyczan). As a result of the
language skills he acquired from his Slavonic studies in Krakow, he was able to translate works of Sorbian writers adequately into Polish (e. g.
Martin Nowak-Njechorński: Miter Krabat, Jurij Koch: Winina). Not least of his achievements were the numerous meetings
with Sorbian authors, journalists, academics, artists and other creative artists, which he organised in and around Katowice, and he was also active as
an author of poems with Sorbian or Lusatian themes.
