Marta Podgórnik Próby negocjacji unplugged tej nocy wszyscy jesteśmy jak wrzucane do ogniska niedopałki. próbujemy znaleźć miarę naszej pojedynczości w melanżu twarzy i sylwetek, nie odnajdując nawet śladu potwierdzającego czyjąkolwiek tożsamość. skomle we mnie suka oddana w dobre ręce, b... Marta Podgórnik ur. 1979 Najważniejsze dzieła: Próby negocjacji (1996), Rezydencja surykatek (2011), Zawsze (2015) Poetka, krytyczka literacka, redaktorka związana z wydawnictwem Biuro Literackie. W Tekstyliach, czyli książce omawiającej na bieżąco młodą literaturę w 2002 roku, jej styl nazwano lirycznym ekshibicjonizmem. Dalsze tomiki udowodniły, że to tylko część prawdy. W swoich wierszach Podgórnik łączy wyrafinowanie formalne, grę z popkulturą i tradycyjnie pojęte wyrażanie siebie (to jest pisanie o własnych dramatach uczuciowych). Podobna mieszanka jest jednak niemożliwa do zrealizowania, jako że stylizacje i biegłość techniczna zakładają dystans z definicji uniemożliwiający mówienie wprost. Wobec tego poezji Marty Podgórnik nie opuszcza napięcie między lirycznym wyznaniem a jego ironicznym pastiszem.

Unplugged czyli 50 twarzy świra
Jarosław Bloch
Jak żyć w tym szalonym świecie i nie zwariować? Jak pozostać przy zdrowych zmysłach, jeśli wszyscy wokół za czymś gonią... nie myśląc, do czego to wszystko zmierza? A może lepiej zwariować? Tak jak bohater Unplugged, który nie wytrzymuje, przechodzi załamanie nerwowe i... dobrze się z tym czuje. Jan Nowak jest byłym nauczycielem akademickim i znawcą literatury angielskiej. A co robi dziś? Dziś sprząta biura pewnej korporacji. Czy Jan Nowak jest z tego niezadowolony? Czy ma poczucie, że poniósł życiową klęskę? Ależ wręcz przeciwnie! On dopiero teraz czuje się człowiekiem wolnym, dopiero teraz osiągnął wyższy stan umysłu, który pozwala mu widzieć rzeczywistość taką, jaka jest naprawdę. Jednak otaczający go świat pędzi nadal, wywierając na nim presję, aby z powrotem stał się tym, kim był kiedyś.
