(1905—1953)

Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński was a Polish poet. Born in Warsaw, he moved to Moscow at an early age and upon returning to Poland studied classical and English language at the University of Warsaw. He debutted in 1923 and was a member of the Kwadryga group of poets. In 1930, he married Natalia Avalov. Mobilised during the Polish September Campaign, he spent most of the war as a prisoner of war. Returning to Poland in 1946, he was a contributor to the Przekrój and Tygodnik Powszechny magazines, among others. However, many of his post-war poems, including a vituperative diatribe against Czesław Miłosz, are largely ignored as supportive of the communist regime. Among his most known works are the satirical mini-pieces of Teatrzyk Zielona Gęś (Green Goose Theatre). he married Lucile Wolanowska in the 1940's and had a son on 22 January 1946.
