Odra (magazine)

Odra (means river Oder in Polish) is a well-established social-cultural Polish monthly journal which has the reputation of an opinion-maker. It is now edited by Mieczysław Orski and has been published in Wrocław for 40 years in the unchanging form of a 140-page journal. The sections inside have not changed much over the years either. It publishes poetry and prose, philosophical discourses, historical articles (mostly concerning the Lower Silesia and Wrocław), correspondence from abroad. It also reviews and discusses cultural events related to literature, fine arts, music and theatre. There is an extensive reviews section with descriptions of books, exhibitions, classical and popular records, concerts, etc. Also, there are regular columns which have included articles written by, for instance, Stanisław Lem and Wojciech Dzieduszycki. Once in a while, the journal is accompanied by a supplement presenting works of Silesian artists. Other poets and writers that also have been published on the Odra pages, among others, are Hanna Krall, Czesław Miłosz, Zbigniew Herbert, Ryszard Kapuściński, Tadeusz Różewicz, Wisława Szymborska, Jan Miodek and many poets of the younger generation such as Miłosz Biedrzycki, Jacek Dehnel, Tadeusz Dąbrowski, Piotr Macierzyński, Jakobe Mansztajn, Przemysław Witkowski.
