Criticism

“The little bilingual volume Puppenmuseum by the young Polish poet Iwona Mickiewicz is a surprise. [...] And surprisingly up-to-date too, as it reflects the acute limbo between past and future, between hope and skepticism in many layers. Whereby the skepticism prevails. Formally - also thematically - Iwona Mickiewicz's poems have their roots in the tradition of the last post-war romantics. [...] This volume definitely belongs on the shelf with young poetry worth reading. "" (Katharina Döbler, Zeit Online )

“Beguiling thought leaps, existential experience reports from a Berlin cross-border commuter who is looking for the unreal in the real. [...] Iwona Mickiewicz learned her craft in poetry. […] Such a precious discovery is seldom made. ”(Tomasz Kurianowicz, FAZ , October 25, 2012, about constructions in the house or Iwan Ivanytsch at the window :)

“Whatever the Polish poet writes, short prose, dramas, poetry - sometimes in German, sometimes in Polish: It's about the breaks, gaps and riddles of the 20th century, about the unfolding of images and scenes that relate to the deportation of her family Dealing with Siberia, with the unspeakable that becomes language without being able to document it. "( Caroline Fetscher , Der Tagesspiegel )
