Traumatic memory of Wacław Iwaniuk
Abstract
Although the term “trauma” has recently been a bit abused, it is very well justified with regard to
the poetry of Wacław Iwaniuk. Literary transformation of the biography of the author of “The
Mirror” (World War II soldier serving on the front, prisoner of war and liberator of concentration
camps in Germany) is realised within the “autobiographic space” of Ph. Lejeune. The war trauma
is revealed in Iwaniuk’s literary output in the flashes of memory. Persistent reappearance of war
scenes has been conveyed by the poet in a series of oneiric images. The metaphor of “a wound”
(P. Ricoeur, R. Nycz) refers also to the post-war experience of a political exile. Wacław Iwaniuk
lived outside Poland since 1939 and in 1948 he settled in Canada where he stayed till his death in
2001.
