Między kanonem a innowacją. Antologie literatury polskiej we Włoszech

This article examines the presence of Polish poetry published in Italy from the 1930s to the present day, as identified and discussed through a bibliographic survey of poetry anthologies published in Italy in recent decades. Many anthologies of Polish poetry have been published with the aim of popularizing the genre, while also striving to present the Polish poetic landscape as fully as possible. These publications offer readers the opportunity to become acquainted with the most influential works and ideas. Particular attention is devoted to the editors and authors involved in producing such volumes. The text also reflects on the dynamics of creating a new canon, which does not always align with the one established in Poland. Depending on the editorial policies of individual publishing series, the project of presenting the anthology as an autonomous literary form and genre – as we shall see – is realized by entrusting the editing to experts or specialists in the field. One might even say that publishers most often entrust the editing of anthologies to none other than recognized scholars, qualified translators, and editors of proven prestige.
