The Association of Polish Writers
As the preamble of the Statute states - “ the Association of Polish Writers /SPP/ came into being in accordance with the will of those writers who, despite the introduction of the martial law and after the illegal termination of the Polish Writers Union in 1983, continued creating and sustaining of independent literary life, as an important part of new civil society existance; the Association is based on the traditions of the Polish Writers Union formed in 1920”.
The terminated Union soon was restored by the current authorities, with writers loyal to them.
Another group of members with its former president Józef Szczepański, created the Association of Polish Writers /SPP/. After its registration in 1989, the SPP became the main organization of writers in the free Republic of Poland. Currently it has over 900 members in eleven branches in Poland. The president of the largest one in Warsaw, with about 430 members, is Jacek Moskwa.
Chairman of the Board, for the second time is Sergiusz Sterna Wachowiak.
