About the book
Reguły gry is an anthology of young poetry of Wrocław, presenting works by authors who published their first volumes, as well as those who are still awaiting publication, famous in Wrocław thanks to the monthly poetry slams in the Surowiec club. The anthology features poems by 33 authors, supplemented by two literary and critical commentaries. The collection is an attempt to capture the identity of the young poetry milieu of Wrocław, but – as its editor points out – it is hardly an easy task, since this is an incredibly expressive, but also secretive and ephemeral formation. Reguły gry was published as an e-book available for free online.

About the book
Marta Kisiel kickstarts the new year with a perverse crime comedy with a corpse in a carpet found in the woods… The carpet (with a bonus) is found by Tereska Trawna, whose life is so out of control that she ends up a kitchen renovation project with buying a house in the countryside. Her troubles only really begin when she discovers that her husband is probably implicated in this crime. Teresa joins forces with her mother-in-law to find the real killer. Their efforts may get unexpectedly thwarted by their children, who think that their grandmother and mother are setting up an ambush for their father. The family situation adds a pinch of comedy – without taking away an ounce of tension.
