Radosław Jurczak

Critical and sharp, but also lighthearted and humorous. Besides being a poet, Radoslaw Jurczak (Poland) is also a machine learning engineer - he improves the artificial intelligence of machines - philosopher and mathematician. The still young poet has already delivered two multi-award-winning collections: with External memory and Dutch books he won the Warsaw Literature Prize, the Silesius Poetry Prize and the Bierezin Prize. even though he works a lot with machines, many of his poems are actually very green: a review received his debut collection as "the strongest eco-poetic gesture of the past decade. As a poet, Jurczak is involved in the European Versopolis network, which connects literary organisations and poets from all over Europe.

This is a program with Laura Vazquez. In this program, both poets read their entire festival selection with recent work.
