The author of this article recalls the figure of Antoni Madej, a poet forsaken in contemporary historical and literary reflection. The text discusses Madej’s most important creative achievements during the interwar period, when he published eight poetry collections on various topics, including social ones. However, he was closest to the poetry of personal thoughts in the convention of concise reflective works. This article considers Madej’s attitude to his own work and the problem of reconciling his creative desires with his social aspirations. The analysis of the poet’s life and creative attitude leads the author to conclude that Antoni Madej was a denied poet who tried to overcomethe internal conflict of desires by means of his personal testimony of fragile hope.
