Stanisław Grochowiak (1934-1976) was an outstanding poet, playwright, publicist and screenwriter. He made his debut in 1956 – it was a collection of poems “Ballada rycerska”. The book has been regarded as one the most important debuts of this time, beside Herbert and Białoszewski. The most popular poems by Grochowiak (“Don Kiszot”, Verlaine”) have been put in the book. From the very beginning he was inspired by French culture as well as by medieval and baroque culture.
