Summary/Abstract: The article refers to a selection from over 80 books of poetry, prose and drama published since 2004 by Polish authors who have lived (or still live) in the UK and Ireland. Kosmalska focuses on how the ‘new’ aspects of transnationalism (advances in transportation, the breaking down of barriers to the flows of people, development of electronic media, and globalization of economic and social relationships) have influenced writing by Polish migrants. The texts in this corpus were conceived from the clash between the writers’ national context and other, alien contexts, and they illustrate how the driving forces of transnationalism have shaped contemporary Polish literature.
