Krasnystaw – Tel Awiw: „pakt bliźniaczych miast, niepodpisany”. O geografii poetyckiej Awota Jeszuruna

Abstract

The objective of the article Krasnystaw – Tel Aviv: “a Pact of Twin Towns, Unsigned”. On Avoth Yeshurun’s Poetic Geography is to present relations connecting two autobiographical places of the poet: Krasnystaw, abandoned when very young and Tel Aviv, where the poet lived until his death. The sense of guilt for leaving his family home, aggravated by later extermination of his family, resulted in Yeshurun’s reconstruction of the lost world in the landscape of Tel Aviv. Linking geographically distant places was both a form of memory and redress to his family, as well as an attempt at reconciliation of two parts of his own, torn apart, biography.
