Abstract

The article presents and analyses the translations by young Belarusian writers of Polish poetry, emphasising the variety of the some half dozen Belarusian translators, and also the nature of the poets they selected. Attention is paid, where appropriate, to Poland and its literature’s particular relevance to Belarusian culture, and, more generally, to the close relationship between the two countries, both historically and at the present difficult time.
