Adam Wiedemann (born 1967 in Krotoszyn, Poland) is a poet and writer, literary and music critic and translator of Slovenian poetry. He is one of the best-known of Polish poets of the younger generation. Wiedemann writes humorous everyday verse with very precisely worked language and full of false trails. The poems are complex, ironic compositions with unexpected turns. “The joy of reading Wiedemann’s poems is so great because you have the feeling that you’re being drawn in, not only as a sympathetic reader but also into the creation of the meaning of his poetry.” (Andrzej Skrendo)
