Salon of Poetry at the Polish Home presents a night of poetry and music.
Leszek Chudziński writes in both Polish and English. He has authored two books of poetry: Niedzielni Poeci (Sunday Poets, 2018) and Podlesie (2022). His writing has appeared in various literary journals and anthologies, including Frog Pond, No Longer Strangers: Haiku Northwest Twenty-Fifth and Thirty-Fifth Anniversary Anthologies (2014 and 2024), Samthology: A Tribute to Sam Hamill, 2019, Lastbench: North America special edition (2020), Examined Life: A Western Washington Poets Network Anthology (2024).
An immigrant himself, Chudzinski writes about many aspects of the life of an immigrant in America. From his first steps and English language experience, first job and college years to his twenty-one years in Seattle as a Slavic Librarian at the Seattle Public Library.
L. Chudzinski hopes his Immigrant Song is an invitation to conversation.
