How should a person feel in a society whose emblem is the line: “he wanted to own you \/ we held on”? Especially when the results of this “owning” and “holding on” are already obvious, because the universe, social and personal, has died.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n One of the answers to these questions is the book of poems by Artur Kamaro\u016dski “I am the forbidden flag myself”. It reflects complex relations with reality, become extremely corrupted under the influence of social circumstances. The book raises the urgent problem of the rejection of “others”, that is, those who are different in some way, not fitting in with “our own”. The reason for such distinction makes no difference. There are the leitmotifs of violence and the fragility of the body, the attempts to find a foothold in the world after August 2020. All this puts the book by Kamaro\u016dski into the context of protest lyrics, while preserving the originality of the poetic world.<\/p>\n Artur Kamaro\u016dski<\/b> was born on March 22, 1991 in Mir, Belarus.
