From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Włodzimierz Szymanowicz (born Wrocław, Poland; September 3, 1946 – March 4, 1967) was a Polish painter and poet. He was the son of Jadwiga, a Polish aristocrat, and Kazimierz Szymanowicz who was Polish of Jewish descent.

Szymanowicz is known mostly for his poems, including one in which is included lyrics to a popular song composed years after his death (Zaproście mnie do stołu, which won an award at the National Festival of Polish Song in Opole in 1974).[1] While none of his poems were published while he was alive, many survive and some have been published posthumously.
