Jacek Berbekawriter

Jacek Berbeka, a Kraków-based writer (ISNI: 0000000529586487), author of texts, short stories, poetry and song lyrics, working at the intersection of literature, spoken-word performance, music and visual art, invites you on an intriguing journey through time and… emotion.

His work is meant to provoke reflection, invite questions, and expose the lies, ignorance and stupidity that surround us.

He does not treat writing as a source of income. Independence allows him to create without bending the word to fashion, the market or audience expectations.

“I scream into the silence as if into a wall that refuses to crack from words...” Jacek Berbeka “Krzyk”

Short stories, poems & texts

Here the word stands bare, without music or image. Short stories, poems and texts must hold their own through rhythm, meaning, and the silence between sentences.

Prose, stories and narrative texts. Read them without the layer of music or image.

Poetry

Poems, short forms and texts shaped by rhythm and the meaning of words.

The text comes first. A musical interpretation is only one of the ways it may continue to live.
