Włodzimierz Szymanowicz

Włodzimierz Szymanowicz (born Wrocław, Poland; September 3, 1946 - March 4, 1967) was a Polish painter and poet. He was the son of Jadwiga, a Polish aristocrat, and Kazimierz Szymanowicz who was Polish of Jewish descent.

Szymanowicz is known mostly for his poems, including one in which is included lyrics to a popular song composed years after his death (Zaproście mnie do stołu, which won an award at the National Festival of Polish Song in Opole in 1974). However, not a single poem by him was published while he was alive. Many of his poems have survived and were published after his death, mainly due to the tireless efforts of his mother.
