KAZIMIERA IŁŁAKOWICZÓWNA DO MELANII PLATER-ZYBERK. Z PRYWATNEJ KORESPONDENCJI POETKI W LATACH 1960-1970

This text has two goals: to discuss a surviving fragment of correspondence between Kazimiera Iłłakowiczówna and her friend Melania Plater-Zyberk, and to provide information on the latter (since she is a part of the little known circle of people close to Iłłakowiczówna). A fragment of her correspondence with the poet dating back to the period from 1960 to 1970 has survived in the authors family. The collection includes fifteen letters written on postcards and seasonal cards. The poet provides information on her daily concerns, intentions, arranged meetings, and also discusses her literary and artistic achievements. Kazimiera Iłłakowiczówna’s letters are private and as such enrich with new tones the poet’s extensive epistolography - both the official and the family correspondence kept in four Polish libraries (with the largest collection kept in the Kórnik Library).
