Although she died over a quarter of a century ago, she has permanently entered the history of Polish culture and is still considered one of the most outstanding Polish poets. Unfortunately, she was unable to find happiness in her private life. As a child, she lacked tenderness and warmth, which meant that as an adult, she was constantly looking for love, getting into numerous affairs. Many men passed through her life, but she was unable to build a lasting bond with any of them. Everyday life terrified her. Her relationship with her daughter, Agata, also suffered, for many years she could not understand why her mother values freedom and … addiction above all.
Osiecka’s parents could not show their feelings. Though she loved them both, she felt more for her father
Agnieszka’s life was colorful, but full of bumpy roads, turns and complicated threads. As a child, she suffered from the frigidity of her parents. Her father, Victor, never showed affection. He was rather cool and distant, although she repeatedly emphasized that in his own way he had a great love for her. “The fact that my dad wanted to raise me exemplary was so bizarre that I was deeply aware that I was brought up differently than other children. Some kind of princess in poverty – .
When Wiktor abandoned his family, the future poet focused all her attention on Maria’s mother, but she was “afraid of caresses and rejection”. Coming from a broken family, the woman was a possessive parent and never allowed her daughter to cut the umbilical cord.
From childhood, she felt a hunger for love. She satisfied him by entering into numerous affairs
Thirsty for love, the poet had numerous affairs with various men. Unfortunately, she was unable to offer either stability or common everyday life to any of them. One of her partners was Marek Hłasko, whom she fell in love with without memory. Later, she married Wojciech Frykowski, but they were married for only a year. Again, she married Wojciech Jesionek, but this relationship did not stand the test of time. Osiecka also did not shy away from relationships with men with whom she was separated by a large age difference. She was 30 years younger than one of them, Jerzy Giedroyc.
Osiecka’s greatest romantic love was the charming Jeremi Przybora, and their passionate relationship lasted almost two years. When they met, she was a 28-year-old divorcee and he was a 49-year-old father of two. The romance of the poets was shrouded in mystery for many years, and few knew how strong the feeling was between the two. The couple maintained constant contact, exchanging longing correspondences.
What have you done, Jeremi, left me alone in an empty city full of only your absence. Only you can bring Warsaw to such a state
– to the beloved. The romance between Osiecka and Przybora came to light only in 2010, when Magda Umer collected the intimate letters of both poets and published them in the book Letters on Exhausted Paper.
The attempt to build a family ended in a fiasco. She abandoned her partner and 6-year-old daughter
Some time later, she became involved with a journalist, Daniel Passent, and the fruit of their love was a daughter, Agata. They created a couple for almost a decade, but never decided to get married. The reason was the uncertainty of the poet, who did not feel ready to start a family or make formal declarations.
He is terribly sensitive and irritable. If I take someone like that on my head, then you have to sit down with him seriously and be okay. But am I up for it?
– she wrote about the father of her only daughter. When Agata was 6 years old, Osiecka left Passent and moved out of their common home, leaving her daughter in his care. At that time, she moved in with her mother and, as her friends recalled, began to lead a “pure single” life. – Agnieszka is not a family person. He doesn’t particularly value his home, his home, Daniel Passent said years later.
Agnieszka Osiecka’s difficult relationship with her daughter. Agata Passent felt doubly rejected
For the sake of all the experiences, she also did not find the role of a mother, and her relationship with her daughter was very tense for a long time. After leaving Passent, she became involved with a 15-year-younger prose writer, Zbigniew Mentzel, and her addiction to alcohol, which she struggled with almost all her adult life, began to deepen. This made her growing up daughter feel doubly rejected by her mother, who chose libations instead of meeting her. – I wanted to celebrate contacts with her, it was a holiday for me. And she was late this holiday, failing. I felt doubly rejected as a child. The first rejection that she didn’t want to live with me. The second is that even as a visiting mom, she chooses alcohol, not me – said Passent in an interview with “Gazeta Wyborcza”. Over time, however, they began to talk to each other honestly and openly, which resulted in a slow rebuilding of the bonds that had been strained over the years.
Towards the end, Osiecka’s life was not peaceful and idyllic either. After 10 years, she parted ways with Mentzel, and soon after accepted the engagement of a philosopher, 18 years her junior, Michał Kott. The couple was supposed to get married in the US. Just before leaving for America, she found out that her beloved was planning to marry another woman, which completely broke her. The last partner of the artist was André Hübner-Ochodlo, who stayed with her until the last moments of her life.
