“Today we said goodbye to Adam Kawa, a poet from Krakow, the author of the wonderful text ‘I invented you’ by the band Dżamble, REST IN PEACE FRIEND” – you can read in the post on the Facebook profile of Dżambla. In this jazz-rock group, founded in September 1966 in Krakow, Andrzej Zaucha performed from 1969. And it is his voice that we hear in the best-known performance of the song I invented you, with the text written by Kawa and the music composed by Jerzy Horwath.
Adam Coffee is dead. He was a poet and songwriter
Kawa died on August 21, 2023 in Krakow. The poet was also the author of lyrics to the song “Leave My Dreams”. On the 1971 album Calling for the Sun over the World by Dżambla, you can also hear his work in the song Staring at yourself with music by Marian Pawlik.
Kawa was born in Lviv, but after the city was occupied by the Soviet army in 1944, he moved to Krakow and was strongly connected with this city. He was active in the poetry group Teraz, to which he belonged together with, among others, Julian Kornhauser and Adam Zagajewski. In 2022, the poet was honored with the Silver Cross of Merit.
He made his poetic debut in 1960 in “Głos Nowa Huta”. He published several volumes of poems, including “Sonety do Gienka” and “Polish Sonety”. “Adam devoted himself to poetry, to which he gave all that was best and most beautiful in him. He specialized in the Polish sonnet, which, in my opinion, saved it from oblivion” – about Kawa, saying goodbye to his former school friend, blogger Krzysztof Pasierbiewicz.
