query about Polish Modernist poetic theory (ca 1900-1930)

[KEVIN CHRISTIANSON]

Dear Seelangers:
Are there any good articles or books (po angielsu) concerning modernist
movements in Polish poetry from 1900-1930? I have read Milosz's HISTORY but I'd
like to find more passages (translated into Enlgish) from manifestos and
essays written by the poets themselves.  Similarly, I'm curious about the
extent to which Russian Modernist groups, like the Acmeists, Ego-Futurists, etc
etera, had any influence on Polish poets and their work. I don't recall Milosz
commenting in much depth on this issue in his survey.  Dzienkuje bardzo. Kevin
