Antoni Matuszkiewicz (born 13 August 1945) is a Polish poet, prose writer, playwright, journalist, and promoter of literary life.

In April 1946, his parents Władysław and Maria née Alexandrowicz[1][2] moved with him to Olesno in Opolian Silesia, where they lived until 1948, then to Świdnica, where Antoni graduated from the Jan Kasprowicz High School [pl].

From 1987 to 1988, he was an instructor in the publishing department of the Provincial Center for Culture and Art "Książ Castle", and from 1989 to 1990, he was the deputy editor-in-chief of Niezależne Słowo.

He published 20 books by authors associated with the region and classics of literature, including Sándor Petőfi, János Pilinszky, Kahlil Gibran.

[2] In 1996, he moved from Świdnica to Stronie Śląskie, then after a year to Stary Gierałtów in the Golden Mountains, and since 2008, he has been living in Martínkovice near the Polish border, near Broumov in the Czech Republic.

In 1981, he was the founder, editor-in-chief, author, and organizer of the independent publication Niezależne Słowo (until December 1981), and also contributed to Solidarność Dolnośląska.

As a member of the Lower Silesian Board of the Wałbrzych Region of Solidarity from 13 December 1981 to 26 February 1982, he was interned in isolation centers in Strzebielinek and Kamienna Góra.

At the 20th Poetry Days, they jointly published an anthology Pegas nad Broumovem, containing poems from participants of the Poetry Days from 2010 to 2019 (55 writers, mainly Czech, Slovak, and Polish, as well as from Bulgaria, Greece, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine, and Vietnam), which were published in Czech, Slovak, and Polish.

At the same time, seminars, meetings, and discussions were organized in Broumov, the Czech Republic (including Prague and Hradec Králové), and in Poland.

[15]An important feature of the poet's expression is the awareness of his Lviv roots and the ecumenical mythology of reconciliation between Poles, Ukrainians, and Jews.
